The major evolutionary transitions
TL;DR: There is no theoretical reason to expect evolutionary lineages to increase in complexity with time, and no empirical evidence that they do so, but nevertheless, eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic ones, animals and plants are morecomplex than protists, and so on.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Evolution of Multiple Memory Systems
TL;DR: It is shown that functional incompatibility occurs for a number of the distinctions that have been proposed between memory systems and the conditions under which memory systems could evolve to serve a wide range of functions.

Evolution of cooperation by multilevel selection
Arne Traulsen,Martin A. Nowak +1 more
TL;DR: In this model, higher-level selection emerges as a byproduct of individual reproduction and population structure and can be extended to more than two levels of selection and to include migration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary personality psychology
TL;DR: The Origins of Individual Diff erences are explained and an Evolutionary Perspective on Interactionism is presented.

Peter J. Richerson,Robert Boyd +1 more
TL;DR: Boyd and Richerson as mentioned in this paper argued that culture is a pool of information stored in the brains of a population, that gets transmitted from one brain to another by social learning processes.

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.
