Evolution and selfishness

چکیده
(This paper is not a paper; in other words, not even a draft. It is a compilation of different themes I have been thinking of during the last months. Being a compilation, the different "chapters" are not coherent. When I made changes in some chapters, these changes would have entailed that I change the content in other chapters too. But I have not had the time to do so. There are therefore all sorts of incongruences and unnecessary repetitions. I hope that the text can still function as a basis for a discussion.)

Strategy intervention for the evolution of fairness
Masses of experiments have shown individual preference for fairness which seems irrational. The reason behind it remains a focus for research. The effect of spite (individuals are only concerned with their own relative standing) on the evolution of fairness has attracted increasing attention from experiments, but only has been implicitly studied in one evolutionary model. The model did not invo...
متن کاملThe Rapid Evolution of Homo Economicus: Brief Exposure to Neoclassical Assumptions Increases Self-Interested Behavior
The Rapid Evolution of Homo Economicus: Brief Exposure to Neoclassical Assumptions Increases Self-Interested Behavior Economics students have been shown to exhibit more selfishness than other students. Because the literature identifies the impact of long-term exposure to economics instruction (e.g., taking a course), it cannot isolate the specific course content responsible; nor can selection, ...
متن کاملSelfishness as second-order altruism.
Selfishness is seldom considered a group-beneficial strategy. In the typical evolutionary formulation, altruism benefits the group, selfishness undermines altruism, and the purpose of the model is to identify mechanisms, such as kinship or reciprocity, that enable altruism to evolve. Recent models have explored punishment as an important mechanism favoring the evolution of altruism, but punishm...
متن کاملThe enforcement of cooperation by policing.
Policing is regarded as an important mechanism for maintaining cooperation in human and animal social groups. A simple model providing a theoretical overview of the coevolution of policing and cooperation has been analyzed by Frank (1995, 1996b, 2003, 2009), and this suggests that policing will evolve to fully suppress cheating within social groups when relatedness is low. Here, we relax some o...
متن کاملEvolution of Cooperation: Does Selfishness Restraint Lie within?
Traditional models of how cooperative strategies succeed in evolution have largely focused on social interactions among individuals and selection acting at kin and group levels. A recent study at the genetic level suggests that cooperation may also be promoted by the evolution of gene-trait relationships that limit the range of possible cheating mechanisms that can evolve.
متن کاملImpact of Selfishness in Device-to-Device Communication Underlaying Cellular Networks
In a device-to-device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular network, user equipment are required to operate cooperatively and unselfishly to transmit data as relays. However, most users more or less behave in a selfish way, which makes user selfishness a key factor that affects the performance of the whole communication system. We focus on the impact of user selfishness on D2D communications...
