This article is part of the theme issue 'Ageing and sociality why, when and how does sociality change ageing patterns?'Standard evolutionary theory, supported by mathematical modelling of outbred, dispersed populations predicts that ageing is not an adaptation. We recently argued that in clonal, viscous populations, programmed organismal death could promote fitness through social benefits and has, in some organisms (e.g. Caenorhabditis elegans), evolved to shorten lifespan. Here, we review previous adaptive death theory, including consumer sacrifi
