Where's the beef? It's less about cooperation, more about conflict
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 February 2005
Abstract:
Individuals give for two reasons. One is to get a benefit back. The other is to avoid a cost. “Cooperation” theories stress mutual benefits. “Conflict” theories stress costs. Hunters may give up part of their hunt because they get favors back, or because the recipients are stronger than they are and the hunting isn't as good anywhere else.
