Assortative social learning and its implications for human (and animal?) societies.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jul 2014

Katsnelson Edith, Lotem Arnon, Feldman Marcus W

Abstract excerpt

Choosing from whom to learn is an important element of social learning. It affects learner success and the profile of behaviors in the population. Because individuals often differ in their traits and capabilities, their benefits from different behaviors may also vary. Homophily, or assortment, the tendency of individuals to interact with other individuals with similar traits, is known to affect the spread of...
