Not only does group selection work in social evolution, but social evolution is Lamarckian in that it retains acquired traits

Isn't modern opinion that vanilla natural selection is also non-negligibly Lamarckian? (I suppose it's very possible that the sources I've read over-stated the Lamarckian factors.)
