ISBN10: 1441995196, ISBN13: 9781441995193, [publisher: Springer New York] Hardcover Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is about the evolution and nature of cooperation and altruism in social-living animals, focusing especially on non-human primates and on humans. Although cooperation and altruism are often thought of as ways to attenuate competition and aggression within groups, or are related to the action of 'selfish genes', there is increasing evidence that these behaviors are the result of biological mechanisms that have developed through natural selection in group-living species.
