Questions about the origins of human cooperation have long puzzled and divided scientists. Social norms that foster fair-minded behavior, altruism and collective action undergird the foundations of large-scale human societies, but we know little about how...

Kline, M. A., R. Boyd, and J. Henrich. “Teaching and the Life History of Cultural Transmission in Fijian Villages”. Human Nature-an Interdisciplinary Biosocial Perspective 24, no. 4 (2013): 351-74.
Much existing literature in anthropology suggests that teaching is rare in non-Western societies, and that cultural transmission is mostly vertical (parent-to-offspring). However, applications of evolutionary theory to humans predict both teaching and non...

Humans are an exceptionally cooperative species, but there is substantial variation in the extent of cooperation across societies. Understanding the sources of this variability may provide insights about the forces that sustain cooperation. We examined...
Hruschka, Daniel Jacob, and Joseph Henrich. “Economic and Evolutionary Hypotheses for Cross-Population Variation in Parochialism”. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 7, no. 559 (2013): doi: 10.3389/fnhum.2013.00559.
Hruschka, Daniel Jacob, and Joseph Henrich. “Economic and Evolutionary Hypotheses for Cross-Population Variation in Parochialism”. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 7, no. 559 (2013): doi: 10.3389/fnhum.2013.00559.
Human populations differ reliably in the degree to which people favor family, friends, and community members over strangers and outsiders. In the last decade, researchers have begun to propose several economic and evolutionary hypotheses for these cross...

The psychological capacity to recognize that others may hold and act on false beliefs has been proposed to reflect an evolved, species-typical adaptation for social reasoning in humans; however, controversy surrounds the developmental timing and...

House, B., J. Henrich, B. Sarnecka, and J. B. Silk. “The Development of Contingent Reciprocity in Children”. Evolution and Human Behavior 34, no. 2 (2013): 86-93.
Cooperation between nonrelatives is common in humans. Reciprocal altruism is a plausible evolutionary mechanism for cooperation within unrelated pairs, as selection may favor individuals who selectively cooperate with those who have cooperated with them...
