Why cultural and genetic group selection are unequal partners in the evolution of human behavior.
TL;DR: The formal basis for the evolution of altruism is briefly reviewed along with arguments why cultural evolution is a stronger force in the development of large-scale cooperative societies.
Evolutionary principles promoting cooperation
TL;DR: It is shown that the interplay of demographic fluctuations and population dynamics can drastically influence the evolutionary outcome and lead to a transient increase of cooperation, and quantify the edge of neutral evolution where fitness-differences become important and demographic fluctuations are only of minor relevance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complexity and institutional evolution
TL;DR: This paper showed which portions of complexity theory are most relevant for studying economic institutional evolution, leading to both the two main competing economics complexity theories: dynamic and computational complexity, and recognized these points may provide a new synthesis between the old and new institutional economics.

Eco-evolutionary partitioning metrics: a practical guide for biologists
TL;DR: This study provides an overview on currently-used partitioning metrics with a focus on methods that can quantify evolutionary and non-evolutionary contributions to population and community trait change and a guideline for researchers to assess which metrics are best suited for their data.
