Description

Explore the fundamental biological roots of social behavior with Origins of Altruism and Cooperation. This volume from the Developments in Primatology series examines how cooperative and altruistic actions evolve in social-living animals. While these behaviors are often viewed as simple ways to reduce group aggression or as results of selfish gene mechanics, this text presents evidence that they stem from specific biological mechanisms. Through a detailed look at non-human primates and humans, the book explains how natural selection drives these behaviors in group-living species. Instead of viewing cooperation as a mere byproduct of competition, the research presented shows it as a developed evolutionary trait. This book is an essential resource for those studying the evolution of social structures and the biological foundations of how species work together to survive.

Key Features

Focuses on the evolution and nature of cooperation and altruism in social-living animals.

Provides detailed analysis of both non-human primates and human social behaviors.

Examines biological mechanisms developed through natural selection in group-living species.

Offers evidence-based insights into how cooperative behaviors function beyond mere competition.

Part of the Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects series by Springer.
