The project aims to investigate the evolutionary and cultural–historical underpinnings of human cooperation. Human cooperation is critical to meet contemporary challenges to humanity such as climate change and humanitarian emergencies. Yet, when cooperation incurs some cost to benefit others, how can cooperation emerge? The project’s main contention is that human cooperation co-evolved with the human capacities to read each other’s minds and to monitor and sanction each other’s deeds in the social context of pursuing a collective goal for a greater good. The project plans to tests the theoretical integrity of this contention through computer simulations and its empirical validity through laboratory experiments and cross-cultural studies.

该项目旨在调查人类合作的进化和文化历史基础。人类合作对于应对气候变化和人道主义紧急情况等人类面临的当代挑战至关重要。然而，当合作产生了一些惠及他人的成本时，合作怎么会出现？该项目的主要论点是，人类合作与人类在追求更大利益的集体目标的社会背景下，共同进化出读懂对方心思、监督和制裁对方行为的能力。该项目计划通过计算机模拟来检验这一论点的理论完整性，并通过实验室实验和跨文化研究来检验其经验有效性。
