Reinterpreting the Empathy-Altruism Relationship: When One Into One Equals Oneness
TL;DR: It is suggested that the conditions that lead to empathic concern also lead to a greater sense of self-other overlap, raising the possibility that helping under these conditions is not selfless but is also directed toward the self.

Sustaining cooperation in laboratory public goods experiments: a selective survey of the literature
TL;DR: The authors survey the literature post Ledyard (Handbook of Experimental Economics, ed. by J. Kagel, A. Roth, Chap. 2, Princeton, Princeton University Press, 1995) on three related issues in linear public goods experiments: (1) conditional cooperation; (2) the role of costly monetary punishments in sustaining cooperation and (3) the sustenance of cooperation via means other than such punishments.

The evolution of eusociality
TL;DR: It is argued that standard natural selection theory in the context of precise models of population structure represents a simpler and superior approach, allows the evaluation of multiple competing hypotheses, and provides an exact framework for interpreting empirical observations.

The Economics of Cultural Transmission and the Dynamics of Preferences
Alberto Bisin,Thierry Verdier +1 more
TL;DR: This article studied the population dynamics of preference traits in a model of intergenerational cultural transmission and found that cultural transmission mechanisms have very different implications than evolutionary selection mechanisms with respect to the dynamics of the distribution of the traits in the population.

Evolutionary origins of stigmatization: the functions of social exclusion.
Robert Kurzban,Mark R. Leary +1 more
TL;DR: The authors propose that phenomena currently placed under the general rubric of stigma involve a set of distinct psychological systems designed by natural selection to solve specific problems associated with sociality.

Animal dispersion in relation to social behaviour
TL;DR: Wynne-Edwards has written this interesting and important book as a sequel to his earlier (1962) Animal Dispersion in Relation to Social Behaviour, and reviewing it has proven to be a valuable task for one who normally is only at the periphery of the group selection controversy.
