Samenvatting
Everyone is familiar with Darwin's revolutionary idea about the survival of the fittest, and most people agree that it works, but Darwin's famous theory has one major chink. If life is about survival of the fittest, then why would we risk our own life to jump into a river to save a stranger? Some people argue that issues such as charity, fairness, forgiveness and cooperation are evolutionary loose ends, side issues that are of little consequence. But as Harvard's celebrated evolutionary biologist Martin Nowak explains in this ground-breaking book, cooperation is central to the four-billion-year-old puzzle of life. In Supercooperators Martin Nowak deftly unpacks the five basic laws of cooperation – Kin Selection, Direct Reciprocity, Indirect Reciprocity, Network Reciprocity and Group ... (Lees verder)Selection – in order to explain some of the most fundamental mechanics beneath everyday life.
