Hi,
I just read this amazing book about mutual assistance and it's incredible. The authors explain, with a huge bibliography, that there is more than one law of the jungle. In biology, the survival of the fittest is true among a population but the groups who survive are the most cooperative.
An educational path from spontaneous assistance to indirect reciprocity, this book shows the rules to follow and the tools to use to promote mutual assistance in societies.
A must, to build a new world !
@Gregouw
Thanks for the suggestion, does this book focus on the evolutionary perspective? Does it include evolutionary stable strategies or is more on the group evolution POV?
Hi @arteteco !
The book is mainly about human behavior (75%). Evolution (25%) is described in the introduction and in one chapter (1/6) to explain the different relations that exist from predation to symbiosis with examples of species that cooperate in stressed environment but compete in an abundant one.There is also a brief history of Darwin and the group evolution theory, with gerris, bees, ants examples. It's an overview but it includes a big bibliography.
Does that answer the question ?
