We are all made of parts – genes, cells, organs, neurons, but also of ideas, or ‘memes’. Our societies too are made of parts – us humans. Is all this cooperation fundamentally the same process?.From the smallest component parts of our bodies and minds to our complicated societies, everywhere cooperation is the organizing principle. Often this cooperation has emerged because the constituting parts have benefited from the interactions, but not seldom the cooperating units appear to lose on the interaction. How then to explain cooperation? How can we understand our intricate societies where we regularly provide small and large favors for people we are unrelated to, know, or even never expect to meet again? Where does the idea come fromthat it is right to risk one’s life for country, religion or freedom? The answers seem to reside in the two processes that have shaped humanity: biological and cultural evolution.. . | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | 关键词 | Biological Evolution; Cooperation; Cultural evolution; Sociality; Game Theory | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-50874-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-84510-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-50874-0 | copyright | Springer International Publishing AG 2017 |
