The co-evolution of culturally inherited altruistic helping and cultural transmission under random group formation.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Jun 2008

Lehmann Laurent, Feldman Marcus W

Abstract excerpt

Limited migration results in kin selective pressure on helping behaviors under a wide range of ecological, demographic and life-history situations. However, such genetically determined altruistic helping can evolve only when migration is not too strong and group size is not too large. Cultural inheritance of helping behaviors may allow altruistic helping to evolve in groups of larger size because cultural...
