Features: The series of papers included in this book aim to explain a phenomenon in human society that transcends the ordinary animal kingdom—the cooperation between non-related individuals. The research of the authors shows that stable cooperative orders cannot be maintained between completely selfish individuals, while the cooperation and punishment model they established, including three types of people—cooperators, selfish individuals, and strong reciprocators—can demonstrate good robustness in the long-term evolutionary process.
