Games, 2021 Human cooperation, occurring without reciprocation and between unrelated individuals in large populations, represents an evolutionary puzzle. One potential explanation is that cooperative behaviour may be transmitted between individuals via social ...

Hunter-gatherer multilevel sociality accelerates cumulative cultural evolution
Science Advances, 2020 Hunter-gatherers from different bands form fluid social networks that facilitate cultural innovation through recombination of cultural traditions. Although multilevel sociality is a universal feature of human social organization, its functional relevance

The Austronesian Game Taxonomy: A cross-cultural dataset of historical games
Humanities & Social Sciences Communications, 2021 Humans in most cultures around the world play rule-based games, yet research on the content and structure of these games is limited. Previous studies investigating rule-based games across cultures have either focused on a small handful of cultures, thus ...

Social network architecture and the tempo of cumulative cultural evolution
bioRxiv, 2020 The ability to build upon previous knowledge—cumulative cultural evolution—is a hallmark of human societies. While cumulative cultural evolution depends on the interaction between social systems, cognition and the environment, there is increasing ...

Configuration of Stable Evolutionary Strategy of Homo Sapiens and Evolutionary Risks of Technological Civilization (the Conceptual Model Essay) [PDF]
, 2014 Stable evolutionary strategy of Homo sapiens (SESH) is built in accordance with the modular and hierarchical principle and consists of the same type of self-replicating elements, i.e. is a system of systems.

Cultural Commons and Cultural Evolution [PDF]
, 2012 Culture evolves following a process that is akin to biological evolution, although with some significant differences. At the same time culture has often a collective good value for human groups. This paper studies culture in an evolutionary perspective, with a focus on the implications of group definition for the coexistence of different cultures.

Cultural selection drives the evolution of human communication systems [PDF]
, 2014 Human communication systems evolve culturally, but the evolutionary mechanisms that drive this evolution are not well understood. Against a baseline that communication variants spread in a population following neutral evolutionary dynamics (also known as

Unknotting the interactive effects of learning processes on cultural evolutionary dynamics
Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2019 Forms of non-random copying error provide sources of inherited variation yet their effects on cultural evolutionary dynamics are poorly understood. Focusing on variation in granny and reef knot forms, we present a mathematical model that specifies how ...
