Jun 1, 2006 · The effect of cultural evolution on reciprocity-based cooperation accounts for the empirical fact that humans in different societies use reciprocity to differing degrees and in different contexts. Our approach can account for both the presence of local variation and the universal aspects of human reciprocity.

Thus, understanding cooperation is an important challenge for all social sciences but also for evolutionary biology, because it needs to explain how natural and cultural evolution can lead to cooperation (Hammerstein 2003; Gardner & West 2004; Henrich & Henrich 2007; West et al. 2007).
Apr 23, 2020 · Reciprocity is a fundamental mechanism for sustained social relationships. Escalation-based theories suggest that reciprocity intensifies over time. In contrast, equity-based theories propose that people reciprocate behaviors in kind. We reconcile these conflicting perspectives by examining social exchanges across different cultural contexts.

Rapid cultural adaptation also leads to persistent differences between local social groups, and then competition between groups leads to the spread of behaviours that enhance their competitive ability.

view ‘evolutionary theory’ includes both cultural evolution and culture-gene coevolution. The framework below integrates what we call the ‘canonical models’ of cooperation (e.g., kin selection and reciprocal altruism) within a broader coevolutionary or dual inheritance framework.2 This paper lays out a set of evolutionary theories,
