TL;DR: A formal justification of the use of the term “cheat” from the perspective of an individual as a maximizing agent is provided, and it is shown that cheats can be broadly classified on the basis of four distinctions.

TL;DR: Benefits of storytelling in Agta hunter-gatherer communities are shown, as storytellers have higher reproductive success and storytelling is associated with higher cooperation in the group, suggesting one of the adaptive functions of storytelling among hunter gatherers may be to organise cooperation.

Social semantics: how useful has group selection been?
TL;DR: The last 45 years of research provide clear evidence of the relative use of the kin and group selection approaches, whereas there is no formal theory of group selection.
