Social Evolution: Reciprocity There Is [PDF]
Current Biology, 2013 The theory of cooperation predicts that altruism can be established by reciprocity, yet empirical evidence from nature is contentious. Increasingly though, experimental results from social vertebrates challenge the nearly exclusive explanatory power of relatedness for the evolution of cooperation.

The evolution of social timing
Physics of Life Reviews, 2023 Sociality and timing are tightly interrelated in human interaction as seen in turn-taking or synchronised dance movements. Sociality and timing also show in communicative acts of other species that might be pleasurable, but also necessary for survival.

Sociality, Evolution and Cognition [PDF]
Current Biology, 2007 Variations in brain size and proportions can be linked to the cognitive capacities of different animal species, and correlations with ecology may give clues to the evolutionary origins of these specializations. Much recent evidence has implicated the social domain as a major challenge driving increases in problem-solving abilities of mammals.

Social evolution in mammals [PDF]
Science, 2021 Mammal societies Although a few types of structures prevail, social systems among mammals are relatively varied. New techniques, from monitoring to genetics, have allowed for a deeper understanding of this variation, how it is related to the environment, and how it has evolved.

Science, 2007 The evolution of unusually large brains in some groups of animals, notably primates, has long been a puzzle. Although early explanations tended to emphasize the brain's role in sensory or technical competence (foraging skills, innovations, and way-finding), the balance of evidence now clearly favors the suggestion that it was the computational demands ...

The edge of neutral evolution in social dilemmas [PDF]
, 2009 The functioning of animal as well as human societies fundamentally relies on cooperation. Yet, defection is often favorable for the selfish individual, and social dilemmas arise.

The nature of culture : an eight-grade model for the evolution and expansion of cultural capacities in hominins and other animals [PDF]
, 2015 Tracing the evolution of human culture through time is arguably one of the most controversial and complex scholarly endeavors, and a broad evolutionary analysis of how symbolic, linguistic, and cultural capacities emerged and developed in our species is ...
