-In [[evolutionary biology]], '''group selection''' is a theory that [[allele]]s can become fixed or spread in a population because of the benefits they bestow on groups. The mechanism provides a causal mechanism for traits that cannot be attributed to the agency of natural selection acting on individual alleles or the [[fitness (biology)|fitness]] of individuals within that group.+'''Cultural group selection''' is an explanatory model within [[cultural evolution]] of how cultural traits evolve according to the competitive advantage they bestow upon a group. This multidisciplinary approach to the question of human culture engages research from the fields of [[anthropology]], [[behavioural economics]], [[evolutionary biology]], [[evolutionary game theory]], [[sociology]], and [[psychology]].
