Cooperation is defined as any action that benefits others at a cost to the actor. Ethnographic and experimental research has shown that human cooperation is both universal and highly variable. This entry presents recent advances in the study of cooperation. It begins with a description of the experimental method used to study cooperation. It then explains the two kinds of evolutionary theories of cooperation (individual and group selection). Finally, a few anthropological topics—religion, rituals, and social trust—are discussed in the light of recent progress in cooperation research
