The evolution and development of mutualistic cooperation in nonhuman primates and humans.

该项目主要适用于BBSRC小组A（动物行为和福利）和C（进化生物学）。在前瞻性优先领域内，该项目与主题1“推进生物科学发现的前沿”最相关。该项目以好奇心为驱动力，采用综合方法来理解人类和非人类灵长类动物社会行为的进化。具体而言，合作的演变仍然被认为是科学中的主要问题之一。通过将社会科学和生物科学结合在人们如何合作这一重要议题上，为主题2“生物科学促进对健康的综合理解”做出了贡献。在主题3，建立坚实的基础，该项目将吸引研究人员在哲学和社会统计沿着与心理学和生物学，并将培养未来的领导人在生物科学

This project fits primarily under BBSRC Panels A (animal behaviour and welfare) and C (evolutionary biology). Within the priority area of Forward Look, the project is most relevant to Theme 1, Advancing the frontiers of bioscience discovery. This project is curiosity driven in its integrative approach to understanding the evolution of human and nonhuman primate social behaviour. Specifically, the evolution of cooperation is still considered one of the major questions in science. By integrating social and biological sciences on the important topic of how people cooperate contributes to Theme 2, Bioscience for an integrated understanding of health. Within Theme 3, Building strong foundations, the project will draw together researchers in philosophy and social statistics along with psychology and biology, and will train a future leader in bioscience
