Standing in the record
The record’s account of how cooperation evolves is genetic and game-theoretic: Nowak’s five rules (THEORY-567), Hamilton (THEORY-655), Trivers (THEORY-663). Its moral psychology is morality-as-cooperation (THEORY-468) and moral foundations (THEORY-539). Nothing it holds argues that cultural evolution is needed for cooperation at human scale. This review is the synthesis’s source for that step.
