Terrific, you posted something which disproves your earlier prediction:

I predict that when you start dividing wasp species into altruistic varietys as less altruistic ones you will find that the altruistic ones carry more genes in common than the other varieties.

But in your last post, you linked to an article that says the opposite:

Recent theoretical work has, however, suggested that competition between relatives can counteract kin selection for altruism. .... the level of fighting between males shows no correlation with the estimated relatedness of interacting males, ..

The math works out something like you own life is worth two or more of your kids, or 8 cousins, etc.
