The evolution of morality and the role of commitment

Autor: Aslihan Akdeniz, Matthijs van Veelen

Publikováno v: Evolutionary Human Sciences, Vol 3 (2021)

A considerable share of the literature on the evolution of human cooperation considers the question why we have not evolved to play the Nash equilibrium in prisoners’ dilemmas or public goods games. In order to understand human morality and pro-soc

Can Hamilton’s rule be violated?

Autor: Matthijs van Veelen

Publikováno v: eLife, Vol 7 (2018)

How generally Hamilton’s rule holds is a much debated question. The answer to that question depends on how costs and benefits are defined. When using the regression method to define costs and benefits, there is no scope for violations of Hamilton�

We explore evolutionary dynamics for repeated games with small, but positive complexity costs. We begin by extending a folk theorem result by Cooper (1996) to continuation probabilities, or discount rates, smaller than 1. Then we show that All D has

In this paper, I will argue that the generality of the Price equation comes at a cost, and that is that the terms in it become meaningless. There are simple linear models that can be written in a Price equation-like form, and for those the terms in t
