The Evolution of AltruismBy Oren Harman
Dissernet: the Evolution of Altruism: Directed by Dima Zavilgelsky. Through 'Dissernet' anti-plagiarism volunteer community network the film tells about the impact of genes on human behaviour and demostrates that altruism and egoism coexist in people, an
EvolutionAltruismCooperationPrice equationHamilton’s ruleReconciling the evolution of altruism with Darwinian natural selection is frequently presented as a fundamental problem in biology. In addition to an exponentially increasing literature on specific mechanisms that can permit altruism to evolve, there ...

Altruism in the evolution of communication Computer models of evolutionary phenomena often assume that the fitness of an individual can be evaluated in isolation , but effective communication requires that individuals interact .

The term population viscosity refers to limited dispersal, which increases the genetic relatedness of neighbors. This effect both supports the evolution of altruism by focusing the altruists' gifts on relatives of the altruist, and also limits the extent to which altruism may emerge by exposing clus...
To clarify the situation, we developed a synthetic conceptual framework that delineates the conditions necessary for the evolution of altruism and cooperation. We show that at least one of the four following conditions needs to be fulfilled: direct benefits to the focal individual performing a ...
reciprocal altruismMost models describing the evolution of animal cooperative behaviour are based on the principle of reciprocal altruism. However, according to the advertising hypothesisrdquo;, based on Zahavi''s handicap principle, an altruistic act is a signal indicating an individual''s quality and...
