Altruistic punishment as an explanation of hunter-gatherer cooperation: How much has experimental economics achieved?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 35 (1):40-40 (2012)
Abstract
The discovery of the altruistic punishment mechanism as a replicable experimental result is a genuine achievement of behavioural economics. The hypothesis that cooperation in hunter-gatherer societies is sustained by altruistic punishment is a scientifically legitimate conjecture, but it must be tested against real-world observations. Guala's doubts about the evidential support for this hypothesis are well founded.Author's Profile
