Who was George C. Williams?
George Christopher Williams was an American evolutionary biologist.
Williams was a professor of biology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He was best known for his vigorous critique of group selection, though later in life he recognized that it did sometimes occur. The work of Williams in this area, along with W. D. Hamilton, John Maynard Smith and others led to the development of a gene-centric view of evolution in the 1960s.
