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 authors' research shows that stable cooperative orders cannot be maintained between completely self-interested individuals, while the cooperative and punishment model they establish, which includes three types of people—cooperators, selfish individuals, and strong reciprocators—demonstrates good robustness in the long-term evolutionary process.
