Cooperative Breeding instead of Cooperative Killing

2015
Foreword | In his outstanding target article on”The Ritual Origins of Humanity”, Matt Rossano presented empirical findings and theses from the forefront of interdisciplinary anthropological studies, ranging from biology to psychology and sociology. But I will argue that he has inherited a classical bias that is unfortunately still alive in evolutionary

Domestication as the evolution of interspecies cooperative breeding

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews
AbstractWe propose that domestication is the result of interspecies cooperative breeding. Considering domestication as an outcome of cooperative breeding can explain how domestication occurs in both plants and animals, encompass cases of domestication that do not involve humans, and shed light on why humans are involved in so many domesticatory ...

Cooperative Breeding in Mammals

1996

Since individuals delay breeding and invest in the offspring of others, cooperative breeding poses a challenge to a Darwinian explanation of the evolution of social behaviour. The contributors to this book explore the evolutionary,

Cooperative Breeding in Vertebrates

2015
Cooperative breeders are species in which individuals beyond a pair assist in the production of young in a single brood or litter. Although relatively rare, cooperative breeding is widespread taxonomically and continues to pose challenges to our understanding of the evolution of cooperation and altruistic behavior.

Advancing cooperative breeding research with a peer-reviewed and “live” Cooperative-Breeding Database (Co-BreeD)

Abstract Research on cooperative breeding (a system with the core characteristic of individuals providing care for the offspring of others) is important for understanding sociality and cooperation. However, large-scale comparative analyses on the drivers and consequences of cooperation frequently use considerably ...
