Individual Interactions, Group Conflicts, and the Evolution of Preferences

TL;DR: In this article, a unified framework for studying the effects of economic (and other) institutions on the evolution of preferences, taking account of conformist cultural transmission, social segregation, and the simultaneous operation of selection processes at the individual and group level.

Cooperation and conflict during evolutionary transitions in individuality.

TL;DR: Cooperation received much less attention 30 years ago but is now seen as the primary creative force behind ever greater levels of complexity through the creation of new kinds of individuals in the hierarchy of life.

Evolutionary games in Wright's island model: kin selection meets evolutionary game theory.

TL;DR: This article studies evolutionary game dynamics in Wright's infinite island model and derives a basic equation that describes the change in frequency of strategies and demonstrates how evolutionary game theory fits into the framework of kin selection.

The neuronal replicator hypothesis

TL;DR: It is proposed that replication (with mutation) of patterns of neuronal activity can occur within the brain using known neurophysiological processes, and evolutionary algorithms implemented by neuro- nal circuits can play a role in cognition.

A group selection perspective on economic behavior, institutions and organizations

TL;DR: The role of group dynamics and interactions in explaining economic behavior and the evolution of institutions was examined in this article, where a range of interpretations of group selection were presented, and the empirical and experimental evidence for group selection was discussed.
