Tribal Social Instincts and the Cultural Evolution of Institutions to Solve Collective Action Problems (2012, unknown): “If policing or monitoring can be seen as a means of (a) demonstrating one’s talents, or (b) as demonstrating one’s commitment to the group norms, then institutions can sustained by harness this aspect of our evolved psychology (Henrich and Henrich 2007; Bliege Bird et al. 2001).”
Behavioral Ecology and Archaeology (2006, background): “In some contexts, large game animals are “requisite luxuries” whose distribution is analogous to feasting and required for hunters to stay in place on the positional treadmill within a group (Bliege Bird et al., 2001; Hawkes and Bliege Bird, 2002).”
Towards a unified science of cultural evolution. (2006, background): “Other applications of signaling theory to human affairs include studies of fishing (Sosis 2000), hunting (Bliege Bird et al. 2001), dancing (Brown et al. 2005), cosmetics (Cronk et al. 2002), engagement rings (Cronk & Dunham 2003), political rhetoric (Johnson 1986; 1987; 1989; Salmon 1998), kin…”
To give and to give not: The behavioral ecology of human food transfers (2004, result): “Although we might a priori predict that only quantities exchanged matter, several bargaining experiments reveal that intentions also matter in determining fair outcomes (Blount 1995).”
