   www.annualreviews.org › content › journals

   Humans are an ultrasocial species. This sociality, however, cannot be fully explained by the canonical approaches found in evolutionary biology, psychology, or economics. Understanding our unique social psychology requires accounting not only for the breadth and intensity of human cooperation but also for the variation found across societies, over history, and among behavioral domains. Here ...

   Oct 28, 2014 · Human cooperation is highly unusual. We live in large groups composed mostly of non-relatives. Evolutionists have proposed a number of explanations for this pattern, including cultural group selection and extensions of more general processes such as reciprocity, kin selection, and multi-level selection acting on genes.

   Jun 1, 2006 · Elsewhere (Henrich & Henrich, in press), we have discussed how cultural evolution can facilitate niceness, and thus promote sustained cooperation, by (1) turning an n-person cooperation dilemma into a dyadic situation, (2) guaranteeing that individuals will stick around for the long run, and (3) using kinship to transcend the life of an individual and extend the time horizon into the future ...

   Sep 21, 2017 · Daily life requires us to cooperate with a large number of – potentially unrelated – people. This column argues that cultural variation in the ways people cooperate with each other are empirically associated with fundamentally different religious beliefs, moral values, emotions of shame and guilt, social norms, and institutions. This suggests that various psychological, biological, and ...

   Jan 10, 2019 · To see this, compare a tight kinship society as modeled in Section III (in which lots of highly localized interactions take place) with a loose kinship society, in which people leave their location to find an efficient cooperation partner. The geographical mobility that is implied by such travel increases the probability of being exposed to a disease.

   Kinship Systems, Cooperation and the Evolution of Culture Benjamin Enke NBER Working Paper No. 23499 June 2017 JEL No. D0,O0 ABSTRACT Cultural psychologists and anthropologists argue that societies have developed heterogeneous systems of social organization to cope with social dilemmas, and that an entire bundle of cultural

   Does kinship lead to effective cooperation?

   • With tight kinship, effective cooperation is believed to take place within cohesive in-groups, while people outside the group are distrusted (Alesina and Giuliano 2013; Moscona, Nunn, and Robinson 2017a).

   How do loose kinship societies work?

   • In loose kinship societies, on the other hand, cooperation appears to be enforced through universal moral values, internalized guilt, altruistic punishment, and an apparent rise and fall of moralizing religions. These patterns point to the presence of internally consistent but culturally variable functional moral systems.

   How do kinship systems differ?

   • Anthropologists have long noted that kinship systems differ in their tightness: the extent to which people are embedded in very large extended family networks.

   How do kinship ties affect morality?

   • Initially, stronger kinship ties mean that a larger number of individuals are willing to cooperate even in the absence of universal values. As a consequence, loose societies have a higher incentive to begin teaching moralizing religion to induce a reasonably broad scope of cooperation early on.

   How does a kinship structure regulate behavior?

   • The evidence shows that societies with a historically tightly knit kinship structure regulate behavior through communal moral values, revenge taking, emotions of external shame, and notions of purity and disgust.

   Do tight kinship societies have a larger family?

   • This assumption might reflect either of two stylized facts about tight kinship societies (see the discussion in Section IV): tight kinship societies could have a larger notion of the family, or, for a fixed notion of size, they could feel closer to a larger number of family members.
