Abstract

Ever since Kropotkin (1902), the proposed solution to the evolution of cooperation among non-relatives has been that helping costs should be offset by returnbenefits, either immediately or after a time interval. Formalized in modern evolutionary terms by Trivers (1971), this principle became known as reciprocal altruism.
