Suicidal selection: Programmed cell death can evolve in unicellular organisms due solely to kin selection by Anya E. Vostinar, Heather J. Goldsby, Charles Ofria

“…Abstract Unicellular organisms can engage in a process by which a cell purposefully destroys itself, termed programmed cell death (PCD). While it is clear that the death of specific cells within a multicellular organism could increase inclusive fitness (e.g., during development), the origin of PCD in unicellular organisms is less obvious. …”
