Strong reciprocity or strong ferocity? A population genetic view of the evolution of altruistic punishment.

The American naturalist - 1 Jul 2007

Lehmann Laurent, Rousset François, Roze Denis, Keller Laurent

Abstract excerpt

Strong reciprocity, defined as a predisposition to help others and to punish those that are not helping, has been proposed as a potent force leading to the evolution of cooperation and altruism. However, the conditions under which strong reciprocity might be favored are not clear. Here we investigate the selective pressure on strong reciprocity by letting both limited dispersal (i.e., spatial structure) and...
