Based on the Fisher-Muller theory of the evolution of recombination, an argument can be constructed predicting that a recessive allele favoring recombination will be favored, if there are either favorable or deleterious mutants occurring at other loci. In this case there is no clear distinction between individual and group selection. Computer simulation of populations segregating for recessive or dominant recombination alleles showed selection favoring recombination, except in the case of a dominant recombination allele with deleterious background mutants. The relationship of this work to parallel investigations by Williams and by Strobeck, Maynard Smith, and Charlesworth is explored. All seem to rely on the same phenomenon. There seems no reason to assume that the evolution of recombination must have occurred by group selection.
