送礼是许多社会的普遍做法。在进化模型中，在一段关系开始时送礼的社会习俗可以带来信任和合作。进化论方法对可以用作礼物的商品的性质进行预测。例如，即使在消费水平较低的情况下，礼品也可能没有什么使用价值。尽管这些礼物本身毫无用处，但这个机构并不是。
Gift giving is a practice common to many societies. In an evolutionary model the social custom of giving gifts at the beginning of a relationship can lead to trust and cooperation. The evolutionary approach makes predictions about the character of the goods that can be used as gifts. For example, gift goods may have little use value even at low levels of consumption. Although the gifts themselves are useless, the institution is not.
