Reading beneath the Skin
This article explores the early modern encounter between Spanish colonizers and the Visayans, tattooed Indigenous people of the Philippines.

In these discussions, writers had to negotiate between the …

Human societies, in which individuals cooperate with genetically unrelated individuals on a considerably larger scale than most mammals do, are especially puzzling in this regard. Recently, the threat of punishment has been given substantial attention as one of the mechanisms that could help sustain human cooperation in such situations. Nev…
