Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2014
Sociality and cooperation are benefits to human cultures but may carry unexpected costs. We suggest that both the human experience of pain and the expression of distress may result from many causes not experienced as painful in our close primate relatives, because human ancestors motivated to ask for help survived in greater numbers than either the ...

On the Evolution of Altruism [PDF]
, 2000 An example is provided to illustrate how evolution can select for altruism. It is shown that evolution can sustain altruistic behaviour between relatives even in a single-shot prisoner’s dilemma model in which altruism benefits one’s opponent at a cost to oneself, and conditions are derived under which altruism persists and flourishes to the extent ...

Economics and Philosophy, 2010
