Indirect reciprocity can stabilize cooperation without the second-order free rider problem
Karthik Panchanathan,Robert Boyd +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the threat of exclusion from indirect reciprocity can sustain collective action in the laboratory, and that such exclusion is evolutionarily stable, providing an incentive to engage in costly cooperation, while avoiding the second-order free rider problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
A tale of two defectors: the importance of standing for evolution of indirect reciprocity.
Karthik Panchanathan,Robert Boyd +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that, when errors are added, indirect reciprocity cannot be based on an image-scoring strategy, however, if individuals use a standing strategy, then cooperation through indirect reciprocities is evolutionarily stable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognition in harsh and unpredictable environments
TL;DR: This article showed that people in stressful environments have a stronger preference for immediate over delayed rewards, have children at a younger age and develop enhanced cognition for dealing with threat and rapidly changing conditions, compared with people from supportive environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Balancing sampling and specialization: an adaptationist model of incremental development
TL;DR: A novel model in which natural selection shapes developmental systems based on the evolutionary ecology, and these systems adaptively guide phenotypic development is presented, which suggests that stochastic sampling may result in individual differences in plasticity itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of sensitive periods in a model of incremental development
TL;DR: This work model development as a specialization process during which individuals incrementally adapt to local environmental conditions, while receiving a constant stream of cost-free, imperfect cues to the environmental state, and compute optimal developmental programmes across a range of ecological conditions.
