Sinopsis
Despite the perception of nature as red in tooth and claw, cooperation is ubiquitous throughout the animal kingdom, as cooperative hunting, anti-predator behavior, foraging, coalition formation, grooming, helpers-at-the-nest, territoriality, sentry behavior, and group thermoregulation. It is indisputable that animals cooperate-cooperation has been observed in everything from insects to primates and in every imaginable scenario-but evolutionary biologists and behavioral ecologists still hotly debate just why animals act in altruistic ways and how such behavior could have evolved. Here biologist Lee Dugatkin outlines four paths to cooperation shared by humans and other animals : family dynamics, reciprocal transactions (or "tit for tat"), so-called selfish teamwork, and group altruism. He draws on a wealth of examples-from babysitting among mongooses and food sharing among vampire bats to cooperation in Hutterite communities and on kibbutzim-to show not only that cooperation exists throughout the animal kingdom, but how an understanding of the natural history of altruism might foster our own best instincts toward our fellow humans.

Soft cover. Condición: Good. No Jacket. Used college text, with some water damage, not affecting text. One of the most profound paradoxes in nature is how some animals, including humans, could have become so cooperative through a harsh evolutionary process. The author discusses the latest thinking, which is getting richer every day, in a manner that everyone will understand. Like four pillars of wisdom, he describes four different strategies of cooperation - each chapter is richly illustrated by well-chosen and often illuminating examples of cooperative behavior. Proceeds from the sale of this book benefit environmental restoration and education. Nº de ref. del artículo: 002088
