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

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.

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.

Evolution of emotions on networks leads to the evolution of cooperation in social dilemmas [PDF]
, 2013 We show that the resolution of social dilemmas in random graphs and scale-free networks is facilitated by imitating not the strategy of better-performing players but, rather, their emotions.

Uncertainty about social interactions leads to the evolution of social heuristics
Nature 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 ...
