What motives underlie the ways humans interact socially? Are these the same for all societies? Are these part of our nature, or influenced by our environments?Over the last decade, research in experimental economics has emphatically falsified the textbook representation of Homo economicus. Literally hundreds of experiments suggest that people care not only about their own material payoffs, but also about such things as fairness, equity and reciprocity. However, this research left fundamental questions unanswered: Are such social preferences stable components of human nature; or, are they modul

Toute sa vie, l'être humain ne cesse d'apprendre au contact d'autrui, d'imiter, de reproduire, de recombiner différentes idées ou savoir-faire - et de les transmettre. Depuis les premiers chasseurs-cueilleurs jusqu'à l'invention d'Internet, le long processus d'évolution de notre espèce ne peut'expliquer qu'à la lumière de cette spécificité que l'on appelle l'intelligence collective, ou plus simplement la culture. Privé de l'accès à cette source de savoir accumulée au fil des générations et adaptée aux environnements locaux, l'être humain serait incapable de survivre. Passant de l'anthropologie et de l'histoire à la psychologie, la biologie ou encore la génétique, Joseph Henrich démontre de manière magistrale et convaincante pourquoi l'être humain est la seule espèce à avoir atteint un tel degré de développement.

This volume assesses the role of religion in cooperation and prosocial behaviour using ethnographic and experimental methods across eight different field sites. The first of two volumes presents results from the first phase of the Evolution of Religion and Morality (ERM) Project.Using a unique combination of both experimental and ethnographic methods, the ERM project addresses pressing questions from the burgeoning cultural evolutionary sciences of religion:What is the relationship between religious beliefs and cooperation?When people are committed to punitive, knowledgeable, and morally concerned gods, are they more inclined to behave prosocially towards others?How far does this prosociality extend?Do important individual and contextual factors mediate this relationship?In addition to an omnibus report, this book offers seven site-specific reports that contextualize experimental and ethnographic data collected around the world. Collecting data from communities as diverse as the Hadza of Tanzania, villagers from two communities on Tanna Island, Vanuatu, residents of Marajó, Brazil, Fijians from Yasawa and Lovu, Tyvans from southern Siberia, and Mauritians, this ground-breaking work sets a new standard in the scientific study of religion.
