Humans are unique among animals in cooperating in large groups of unrelated individuals, with a high degree of resource sharing. These features challenge traditional evolutionary theories built on kin selection or reciprocity. A recent theoretical model by Gavrilets and colleagues takes a fresh look at the 'egalitarian revolution' that separates humans from our closest relatives, the great apes. The model suggests that information from within-group conflicts leads to the emergence of cooperative alliances and social networks.
人类在动物中独树一帜，能够在由互不相关的个体组成的大群体中进行合作，并高度共享资源。这些特征对基于亲缘选择或互惠互利构建的传统进化理论构成了挑战。加夫里列茨及其同事最近提出的一个理论模型，重新审视了使人类与最亲近的亲属——大猩猩区分开来的“平等主义革命”。该模型表明，群体内部冲突产生的信息会促使合作联盟和社会网络的出现。
