Description

This comprehensive volume examines the evolution and nature of cooperation and altruism in social-living animals, with particular emphasis on non-human primates and humans. Rather than viewing cooperation and altruism merely as mechanisms to reduce competition and aggression within groups, or as consequences of selfish gene theory, the book presents mounting evidence that these behaviours result from biological mechanisms refined through natural selection in group-living species. The research demonstrates that cooperative and altruistic behaviour are not simply by-products of competition, but represent sophisticated adaptations that have evolved to support social cohesion and survival. Part of the Developments in Primatology series, this volume contributes essential insights to the growing field of primatology and evolutionary psychology.

Key Features

Focuses on non-human primates and humans to provide comparative perspectives on cooperation and altruism.

Presents evidence for biological mechanisms developed through natural selection in group-living species.

Challenges conventional theories that view cooperation as merely a response to competition.

Part of the Developments in Primatology series (volume 36), offering expert contributions to the field.

Addresses the evolution of social behaviour and its role in group dynamics and survival.
