• Society-in-the-loop: programming the algorithmic social contract (2017, background): “But ultimately, norms are shaped through the interaction of various social and evolutionary forces (Henrich 2004; Richerson and Boyd 2005).”
• Universal cognitive mechanisms explain the cultural success of bloodletting (2015, background): “Modeling bypasses experimental limitations and provides a more accurate representation of the consequences of even weak biases on cultural evolution (Boyd & Richerson, 1985; Kalish et al., 2007; Kirby, Dowman, & Griffiths, 2007; Richerson & Boyd, 2005).”
• An experimental simulation of the “copy-successful-individuals” cultural learning strategy: adaptive landscapes, producer–scrounger dynamics, and informational access costs (2008, background): “Hence, cultural learning would occur predominantly within groups, generating low within-group variation and high between-group variation and therefore providing the preconditions for cultural group selection (Richerson & Boyd, 2005).”
• Sixteen common misconceptions about the evolution of cooperation in humans (2011, methodology): “…arguments can explain cases of helping between unrelated individuals in wasps, where high mortality rates mean that there is an appreciable chance that a subordinate individual can inherit the dominant position and, hence, also inherit any workers that they helped produce (Queller et al., 2000).”
• Reply to comments. Two Key Steps in the Evolution of Human Cooperation: The Interdependence Hypothesis (2012, background): “The second theory is the Cultural Group Selection Hypothesis (e.g., Henrich and Henrich 2007; Richerson and Boyd 2005), and it focuses on a later stage in human evolution characterized by larger social groups.”
• Building a framework for global surveillance of the public health implications of adverse childhood experiences. (2010, background): “However, these mechaisms are complex.47 Care is needed to avoid oversimplifyng this nascent research to conclude that the interaction of dversitywith the genome is simple anddirect and that “X is gene for Y.”49 Nonetheless, the growing body of research evealing the relationships among genetic polymo”
• Human Culture in Evolutionary Perspective (2010, background): “…form of cultural practices and products (Odling-Smee, Laland, & Feldman, 2003 ), and gene–culture coevolution, as the species has evolved cognitive skills and motivations enabling them to function effectively in any one of their many different self-built cultural worlds (Richerson & Boyd, 2005 ).”
• Two Key Steps in the Evolution of Human Cooperation (2012, background): “The second theory is the Cultural Group Selection Hypothesis (e.g., Henrich and Henrich 2007; Richerson and Boyd 2005), and it focuses on a later stage in human evolution characterized by larger social groups.”
• The Evolution of Tag-Based Cooperation in Humans (2012, background): “…however, that they, like the roguish greenbeard, are so vulnerable to imitation that none could plausibly form the evolutionary foundation of any fitness-bestowing tag-based cooperation strategy among strangers (Boyd and Richerson 2005; McElreath, Boyd, and Richerson 2003; Richerson and Boyd 2005).”
• Niche Construction Theory and Archaeology (2010, background): “There is every reason to suspect that the ability to amass and pass on considerable bodies of information was extremely important to hominin evolution (Boyd and Richerson 1985; Richerson and Boyd 2005).”
• One cultural parent makes no culture (2010, result): “While these findings are broadly consistent with what is known about human cultural learning (Richerson & Boyd 2005), there are some reports in humans of traditional crafts and skills that are acquired from a single parent.”
• CRITICAL POINTS IN CURRENT THEORY OF CONFORMIST SOCIAL LEARNING (2007, background): “The rationale is that “once adaptive processes cause the best variants to be most common, those who imitate the most common variant are less likely to acquire inappropriate beliefs than those who imitate at random” (RICHERSON and BOYD 2005, p.~121).”
• The Evolution of Religion: How Cognitive By-Products, Adaptive Learning Heuristics, Ritual Displays, and Group Competition Generate Deep Commitments to Prosocial Religions (2010, background): “Department of Economics and Department of Psychology University of British Columbia15 Vancouver, BC, Canada joseph.henrich@gmail.com”
• Cultural Evolution: A Review of Theory, Findings and Controversies (2015, background): “Introduction Cultural evolution is the theory that cultural change in humans and other species can be described as a Darwinian evolutionary process, and consequently that many of the concepts, tools and methods used by biologists to study biological evolution can be equally profitably applied to stu”
