Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Runaway selection is a theory developed by R.A. Fisher in the early 20th century. Fisher proposed that some traits that may seem disadvantageous to survival can be selected for if they also increase the individual's attractiveness to potential mates. This positive feedback loop between sexual selection and evolution of certain traits is known as runaway selection theory or Fisherian selection.
