7. If I save my relatives… I save 1.5 sets of my genes. If this has a genetic basis, selection will favor altruism among relatives. 1/2 1 …ow… 1/2 What a guy!

11. C. Altruism 2. Among non-relatives Scenario 1: Payoff to hawks is always greater than payoff to doves, regardless of density. Even though all doves is better for the group, it is not an ESS… it can be ‘invaded’ by hawks. All hawks IS an EES, though, because doves always at disadvantage and can’t increase in population.

12. C. Altruism 2. Among non-relatives Book diagram is wrong… Scenario 2: Here, the cost of competition among hawks is high, so as hawk density increases, payoff to hawks decline rapidly. A population of all hawks is not an ESS now – it can be invade by doves. There is a stable equilibrium in which hawks and doves are maintained in the population.

Game: Give one monkey a pebble. If it gives it back (co- operation), it gets a cucumber. Repeat with a second monkey, in view of the first, but give the second monkey a grape (better reward). First monkey will no longer return the pebble for a cucumber. KEEP your #$#@ CUCUMBER!!

25. Both the target and the distracter door were held shut by chains. subject (S) could release the chain of the target door. In the experimental condition, food was placed in the target room (subject could help) by releasing the target chain. In the control condition, food was placed in the distracter room, so that the recipient would try to open the distracter door. In this situation, it was irrelevant (with respect to the recipient's attempt to open the distracter door) whether the subject released the target chain. The target measure in both conditions was whether the subject released the target chain. (from Warneken, PLOS 2007). 3 acted as recipients and 6 as subjects – 10 trials for each pairing; 5 experimental and 5 controls (banana in ‘distractor’ room). http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal. pbio.0050184#pbio-0050184-sv003

26. Mean percentage of trials with target behavior (releasing the target chain) by condition. Error bars represent SEM. Each subject was tested in both conditions in a within-subject comparison. (Warneken, PLOS 2007). Subjects pull bar for recipient to access food significantly more often than the control (p < 0.025). Difference increased over trials.
