Jun 3, 2019 · Therefore, ethnographic data from contemporary people living in small-scale societies show that cooperation extends beyond close kin and reciprocating partners. And often, norms of sharing based on egalitarian values dictate cooperative behavior.

Feb 2, 2016 · Cooperation in non-human primates is biased in favour of genetic relatives and reciprocating partners. In virtually all species that have been studied, when maternal kin are available they are the preferred partners for altruistic behaviours, such as grooming and coalition formation [ 21 , 22 ].

A growing body of evidence shows that humans are remarkably altruistic primates. Food sharing and division of labor play an important role in all human societies, and cooperation extends beyond the bounds of close kinship and networks of reciprocating partners.

Aug 1, 2013 · We provide empirical evidence for five mechanisms for the evolution of human cooperation: direct reciprocity, indirect reciprocity, spatial selection, multilevel selection, and kin selection. We also highlight areas in which theory and experiments diverge, and for which more empirical and theoretical work is needed.

Humans also bias cooperation in favor of kin and reciprocating partners, but the scope, scale, and variability of human cooperation greatly exceed that of other animals. Here, we introduce derived features of human cooperation in the context in which they originally evolved, and discuss the processes that may have shaped the evolution
