Human large-scale cooperation as a product of competition between cultural groups

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The authors here show that readiness to cooperate between individuals from different groups corresponds to the degree of cultural similarity between those groups.

Distinct Colony Types Caused by Diploid Male Production in the Buff-Tailed Bumblebee Bombus terrestris

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The buff-tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris presents two distinct colony phenotypes in which some colonies already start producing males very early in the season, while others switch to producing sexuals much later in the season, and specialize mainly in

Social dilemmas in an online social network: the structure and evolution of cooperation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We investigate two paradigms for studying the evolution of cooperation--Prisoner's Dilemma and Snowdrift game in an online friendship network obtained from a social networking site.

Social evolution in mammals [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 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.

Dental Pathology, Wear, and Diet in a Hunting and Gathering Forest-Dwelling Group: The Batak People of Palawan Island, The Philippines

open access: yesDental Anthropology, 2006
Described are observations on Batak foods, tooth use, oral hygiene, and resulting wear and oral pathology in dental casts of 29 Batak ranging from 15 to 49 years of age. Commonly consumed foods are roughly 80 percent plant, and 20 percent animal products.

Capture Order Across Social Bathyergids Indicates Similarities in Division of Labour and Spatial Organisation

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The social mole-rats of the family Bathyergidae show elaborate social organisation that may include division of labour between breeders and non-breeders as well as across non-breeders within their groups.

Sociality, Evolution and Cognition [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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.

Morphological and population genomic evidence that human faces have evolved to signal individual identity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Facial recognition plays a key role in human interactions, and there has been great interest in understanding the evolution of human abilities for individual recognition and tracking social relationships.

Evolving Social Networks via Friend Recommendations

open access: yes, 2015
A social network grows over a period of time with the formation of new connections and relations. In recent years we have witnessed a massive growth of online social networks like Facebook, Twitter etc. So it has become a problem of extreme importance to

Uncertainty about social interactions leads to the evolution of social heuristics

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Humans are known to use social heuristics to make intuitive decisions on whether to cooperate. Here, the authors show with evolutionary simulations that social heuristics can be an adaptive solution to uncertainties about the consequences of cooperation ...
