Employing computer simulations to study the evolution of altruismhas been popular since Axelrods The Evolution of Cooperation.But have the myriads of simulation studies that followedin Axelrods footsteps really increased our knowledge about theevolution of altruism or cooperation? This book examines in detailthe working mechanisms of simulation-based evolutionaryexplanations of altruism. It shows that the theoretical insightsderived from simulation studies are often quite arbitrary andof little use for empirical research. In the final chapter, a setof epistemological requirements for computer simulations isproposed with recommendations for the proper research designof simulation studies.
