Not confined to kinship characteristics
- Unlike non-human cooperation, human cooperative behaviour is not confined to kinship characteristics; rather, humans can intentionally engage in cooperative behaviour, even with strangers.

We review the major evolutionary mechanisms that have been proposed to explain human cooperation, including kinship, reciprocity, reputation, signaling, and punishment; we discuss key culture–gene coevolutionary hypotheses, such as those surrounding self-domestication and norm psychology; and we consider the role of religions and marriage ...

Jan 23, 2023 · Human cooperation shares principles with those of multicellular organisms that have undergone transitions in individuality: division of labour, communication, and fitness interdependence. After the split from the last common ancestor of hominoids, early hominins adapted to an increasingly terrestrial niche for several million years.
