Intelligent machines have reached capabilities that go beyond a level human being can fully comprehend without sufficiently detailed understanding of the underlying mechanisms. The choice moves in game Go (generated by Deep Mind?s Alpha Zero [1]) are an impressive example artificial intelligence system calculating results even expert for hardly retrace [2]. But this is, quite literally, toy example. In reality, intelligent algorithms encroaching more and into our everyday lives, be it...
Human societies are structured by what we refer to as ‘institutions’, which socially created and culturally inherited proscriptions on behaviour that define roles set expectations about social interactions. The study of institutions in several science fields has provided many important insights have not been fully appreciated the evolutionary human sciences. However, such research often lacked a shared understanding general processes change shape institutional diversity across space time. We...
Institutions and investors are constantly faced with the challenge of appropriately distributing endowments. No budget is limitless optimising overall spending without sacrificing positive outcomes has been approached resolved using several heuristics. To date, prior works have failed to consider how encourage fairness in a population where social diversity ubiquitous, which can only partially observe population. Herein, by incorporating Ultimatum game through heterogeneous graphs, we...
A manifest trend is that larger and more productive human groups shift from distributed to centralized decision-making. Voluntary theories propose hierarchy limit scalar stress, i.e. the increase in cost of organization as a group grows. Yet, this hypothesis lacks mechanistic model investigate organizational advantage its role on evolution. To fill gap, we describe social by distribution individuals’ capacity influence others. We then integrate formalization into models dynamics evolutionary...
Abstract Moral rules allow humans to cooperate by indirect reciprocity. Yet, it is not clear which moral best implement reciprocity and are favoured natural selection. Previous studies either considered only public assessment, where individuals deemed good or bad all others, compared a subset of possible strategies. Here we fill this gap identifying evolutionary stable strategies (ESS) among while considering private assessment. We develop an analytical model describing the frequency...
Abstract Cancer is a widespread disease that affects most of the metazoans. However, cancer development slow process and, long before causing death individual, may weaken organisms’ capacities and impair their interactions with other species. Yet, impact on biotic interactions, over dynamics whole ecosystem, still largely unexplored. As well, feedback altered evolution resistance against in context community ecology has not been investigated. From this new perspective, we theoretically...
Circumscription theory proposes that complex hierarchical societies emerged in areas surrounded by barriers to dispersal, e.g. mountains or seas. This has been widely influential but the lack of formal modelling resulted theoretical and empirical challenges. shares parallels with reproductive skew models from evolutionary ecology where inequality depends on capacity subordinates escape despotic leaders. Building these similarities, we extend simulate concurrent evolution many connected...
All societies need to form institutional rules regulate their social interactions. These specify what actions individuals should take in particular situations, and sanctions will apply if violate these rules. However, forming involves playing a political game—a process of negotiation between that is costly time-consuming. Intuitively, this cost be expected increase as group becomes larger, which could then select for transition hierarchy keep the game down size increases. previous work has...
The sudden transition from egalitarian groups to hierarchical societies that occurred with the origin of agriculture is one most striking features evolution human societies. Hierarchy reflected by an asymmetrical distribution influence individuals. Although benefits leaders themselves are easily justified, it still hard identify causes for exploited followers. However, also play important role in solving coordination problems, a which would have been amplified increase group size induced...
Hierarchy is an efficient way for a group to organize, but often goes along with inequality that benefits leaders.To control despotic behaviour, followers can assess leaders' decisions by aggregating their own and neighbours' experience, in response challenge leaders.But hierarchical social networks, this interactional justice be limited (i) the high influence of small clique who are treated better, (ii) low connectedness followers.Here we study how network affects coevolution despotism...
Institutions and investors face the constant challenge of making accurate decisions predictions regarding how best they should distribute their endowments. The problem achieving an optimal outcome at minimal cost has been extensively studied resolved using several heuristics. However, these works usually fail to address external party can target different types fair behaviour or do not take into account limited information shape this complex interplay. Here, we consider well-known Ultimatum...
Human social hierarchy has the unique characteristic of existing in two forms.Firstly, as an informal where leaders and followers are implicitly defined by their personal characteristics, secondly, institutional explicitly appointed group decision.Although both forms can reduce time spent organising collective tasks, imposes additional costs.It is therefore natural to question why it emerges at all.The key difference lies fact that institutions create with only a single leader, which...
