"A revolution is happening in the borderland between cellular evolution and the evolution of whole organisms and cooperating entities in a community. The authors of the papers in this book are addressing this revolution in a cogent and clear manner. There is much to explain about the cooperative or not-so-cooperative behavior of homo sapiens, and the work in this volume goes a long way toward providing a clear explanation." Elinor Ostrom, Arthur F. Bentley Professor of Political Science, Indiana University The book offers a surprising wealth of ideas on the biological and cultural evolution of cooperation. It presents exciting and thought-provoking reading material for everybody interested in the subject matter. -- Reinhard Selten, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences in 1994 and Professor Emeritus of Economics, University of Bonn
Peter Hammerstein is Professor in Organismic Evolution at the Institute for Theoretical Biology at Humboldt University, Berlin and an external member of the interdisciplinary Santa Fe Institute.
This timely monograph will prove essential reading - not only as a
state-of-the-art overview, but also as an informed agenda for
future research.
