Why Humans Cooperate

Why Humans Cooperate
By:"Joseph Henrich","Natalie Henrich"
Published on 2007-06-27 by Oxford University Press

Cooperation among humans is one of the keys to our great evolutionary success. Natalie and Joseph Henrich examine this phenomena with a unique fusion of theoretical work on the evolution of cooperation, ethnographic descriptions of social behavior, and a range of other experimental results. Their experimental and ethnographic data come from a small, insular group of middle-class Iraqi Christians called Chaldeans, living in metro Detroit, whom the Henrichs use as an example to show how kinship relations, ethnicity, and culturally transmitted traditions provide the key to explaining the evolution of cooperation over multiple generations.

Thank You for Read :In the typical Chaldean pattern, the groom's \u003cb\u003eparents\u003c/b\u003e are responsible for paying \u003cbr\u003e\nfor the \u003cb\u003ewedding\u003c/b\u003e, including jewelry and clothes ... the amount of the \u003cb\u003egift\u003c/b\u003e is strongly \u003cbr\u003e\ninfluenced by titfortat reciprocity (it's “fair and respectful” to \u003cb\u003egive\u003c/b\u003e the same amount)\u003cbr\u003e\n. from our blog
