Sixteen common misconceptions about the evolution of cooperation in humans (2011, background): “The idea here is that, even if they are given perfect information, individuals find it hard to disassociate themselves from the real world, and so, cooperation occurs as a byproduct of the fact that is normally favoured (Bateson et al., 2006; Binmore, 2006; Burnham & Johnson, 2005; Hagen & Hammerste”
A stress test of fairness measures in models of social utility (2005, background): “See for example, Ellingsen (1997), Gale et al. (1995), Guth (1995), Huck and Oechssler (1999), Nowak and Sigmund (1998), Guth and Ockenfels (2000), Nowak et al. (2000) , Kockesen et al. (2000), Sethi and Somanathan (2001), among others.”
Patterns of participation and free riding in territorial conflicts among ringtailed lemurs (Lemur catta) (2004, background): “…simulations and analytical models have shown that individual recognition increases cooperation (Crowley et al. 1996; Nowak and Sigmund 1998; Nowak et al. 2000), and a strategy of “raise-the-stakes,” in which individuals increase their cooperation incrementally, may explain the development…”

Weird people, yes, but also weird experiments (2010, neutral): “These researchers would have found the same results for both species, and concluded that standard game theoretic models (assuming pure self‐interest) and evolutionary analyses (Nowak et al., 2000) were a fairly accurate predictors in Ultimatum Game behavior for both chimpanzees and humans—a very tid”
