The Evolution of Tag-Based Cooperation in Humans (2012, background): “…causation underlying group-based trust, in-group favoritism, out-group dispreference and hostility, group marking, “tribal instincts,” and inclusion and exclusion mechanisms (e.g., Boyd and Richerson 2009; Chudek and Henrich 2011; McElreath, Boyd, and Richerson 2003; Richerson and Boyd 2005).”
Intuition, deliberation, and the evolution of cooperation (2016, background): “These various experience-related results emphasize that our model operates in the domain of cultural evolution and social learning (1, 19, 20), in addition to (or instead of) genetic evolution.”
The development of contingent reciprocity in children (2013, background): “Several studies have explored the development of reciprocal behavior in children (see Supplementary Materials, available on the journal's Web site at www.ehbonline.org, Table 1).”
Normology: Integrating insights about social norms to understand cultural dynamics (2015, background): “…in homo sapiens evolution propose that the psychological adaptations that foster group regularities (such as theory of mind and over-imitation) evolved earlier than the adaptations that enable sanctioning (moral emotions) and institutionalization (symbolic thought) (Chudek & Henrich, 2011).”
The Early Ontogeny of Social Norms (2013, background): “…expectations in nonhuman primates might be remote precursors of normative expectations proper (Rudolf von Rohr, Burkart, & van Schaik, 2011), the norm psychology with which we operate from early in ontogeny seems to be a uniquely human cognitive capacity (Chudek & Henrich, 2011; Tomasello, 2009).”
Tribal Social Instincts and the Cultural Evolution of Institutions to Solve Collective Action Problems (2012, neutral): “Human huntergatherers, by contrast, maintain large networks of kin and non-kin, even in the smallest scale human societies (Wiessner 1983, 1982; Hill et al. 2011).”
NORMS MAKE PREFERENCES SOCIAL: Norms Make Preferences Social (2015, background): “This psychology then interacts with cultural group selection to influence the relative frequency of certain cultural phenotypes within and between groups (Chudek and Henrich, 2011).”
Precocious Prosociality: Why Do Young Children Help? (2015, background): “Concerning ontogeny, some approaches focus mainly on the adoption of social norms as the driver of human prosociality (46).”
Fair Is Not Fair Everywhere (2015, background): “On the other hand, research conducted outside of Western societies has demonstrated a great degree of cultural variation concerning distributive justice and suggests that some beliefs concerning fairness may be driven by socially acquired norms (Chudek & Henrich, 2011; Henrich et al., 2010).”
