Coalitions matter for both men and women: Insights from three subsistence communities in southwest Ethiopia
The Meanings and Dividends of Man the Hunter
The phrase Man the Hunter is associated with disparate meanings across communities of scholars, journalists, and the public, which has led to unnecessary scientific disagreement and popular misunderstanding. In this paper, we ask: what does Man the Hunter mean? We distinguish three historical meanings of Man the Hunter. First, in the early-to-mid 20th century, popular writers propagated ideas of human evolution that focused on hunting, men, aggre…
Legacy and constraint in the evolution of human culture
Cross-cultural evidence that intergroup conflict heightens preferences for dominant leaders: A 25-country study
Across societies and across history, seemingly dominant, authoritarian leaders have emerged frequently, often rising to power based on widespread popular support. One prominent theory holds that evolved psychological mechanisms of followership regulate citizens' leadership preferences such that dominant individuals are intuitively attributed leadership qualities when followers face intergroup conflicts like war. A key hypothesis based on this the…

The Multi-Capital Leadership Theory: An Integrative Framework for Human Leadership Diversity
The Multi-Capital Leadership Theory: An Integrative Framework for Human Leadership Diversity
Human leadership and followership take many forms, shaped by the social, economic, political, and cultural contexts of our groups and societies. Underlying this complexity, we argue, are key elements of human social psychology regarding social comparison and the resolution of coordination and collective action problems. More specifically, the Multi-Capital Leadership (MCL) theory posits that leader emergence and effectiveness depend on perception…
Interpersonal conflicts and third-party mediation in a pastoralist society
Norm violations and punishments across human societies
Punishments for norm violations are hypothesised to be a crucial component of the maintenance of cooperation in humans but are rarely studied from a comparative perspective. We investigated the degree to which punishment systems were correlated with socioecology and cultural history. We took data from the Standard Cross-Cultural Sample database and coded ethnographic documents from a sample of 131 largely non-industrial societies. We recorded whe…
Religion: The Weirdest concept in the world
Evidence for third-party mediation but not punishment in Mentawai justice
Researchers argue that third parties help sustain human cooperation, yet how they contribute remains unclear, especially in small-scale, politically decentralized societies. Studying justice among Mentawai horticulturalists in Indonesia, we examined evidence for punishment and mediation by third parties. Across a sample of 444 transgressions, we find no evidence of direct third-party punishment. Most victims and aggrieved parties demanded payment…
Correlates of conflict resolution across cultures
Conflicts are ubiquitous between individuals as well as between groups. Effective conflict resolution is essential for individual well-being and group functioning and often involves leadership dynamics. The evolutionary human sciences have suggested that conflict resolution is shaped by psychological heuristics, norms and ecology. There are limited empirical data, however, on conflict resolution across cultures. Using a cross-cultural database of…
Universal and variable leadership dimensions across human societies
Investigating evolutionary models of leadership among recently settled Ethiopian hunter-gatherers
