• Nice Guys Finish First: The Competitive Altruism Hypothesis (2006, background): “Whereas most other mammals help each other only within small kinship groups, humans have the unique ability to form and cooperate within large social groups, which include many genetic strangers (McAndrew, 2002).”
• Cooperation for reputation: Wasteful contributions as costly signals in public goods (2010, background): “Costly signalling theory (CST) has attracted much attention recently in the anthropological and psychological literature to explain human phenomena (Griskevicius et al., 2007; Hardy & Van Vugt, 2006; McAndrew, 2002; Miller, 2000).”
• Prosocial behavior: multilevel perspectives.
