How does stochasticity in learning impact the accumulation of knowledge and the evolution of learning
Learning is crucial for humans and other animals to acquire knowledge, enhancing survival and reproduction. In particular, individual and social learning allow populations to accumulate knowledge across generations. Here, we examine how stochasticity in the production and social acquisition of knowledge influences the evolution of learning strategies and cumulative knowledge. Using a mathematical model where learning is stochastic, we show that l…
Four levers of reciprocity across human societies
This paper surveys five human societal types – mobile foragers, horticulturalists, pre-state agriculturalists, state-based agriculturalists and liberal democracies – from the perspective of three core social problems faced by interacting individuals: coordination problems, social dilemmas and contest problems. We characterise the occurrence of these problems in the different societal types and enquire into the main force keeping societies togethe…
Cooperation in large‐scale human societies — What, if anything, makes it unique, and how did it evolve
To resolve the major controversy about why prosocial behaviors persist in large‐scale human societies, we propose that two questions need to be answered. First, how do social interactions in small‐scale and large‐scale societies differ? By reviewing the exchange and collective‐action dilemmas in both small‐scale and large‐scale societies, we show they are not different. Second, are individual decision‐making mechanisms driven by self‐interest? We…
