Chimpanzees provide help to unrelated individuals in a broad range of situations. The pattern of helping within pairs suggests that contingent reciprocity may have been an important mechanism in the evolution of altruism in chimpanzees. However...
O’Gorman, R., J. Henrich, and M. Van Vugt. “Constraining Free Riding in Public Goods Games: Designated Solitary Punishers Can Sustain Human Cooperation”. Proceedings of the Royal Society B-Biological Sciences 276 (2009): 323-29.

Much of human cooperation remains an evolutionary riddle. Unlike other animals, people frequently cooperate with non-relatives in large groups. Evolutionary models of large-scale cooperation require not just incentives for cooperation, but also a credible...

Gintis, H., J. Henrich, S. Bowles, R. Boyd, and E. Fehr. “Strong Reciprocity and the Roots of Human Morality”. Social Justice Research 21 (2008): 241-53.
Human morality is a key evolutionary adaptation on which human social behavior has been based since the Pleistocene era. Ethical behavior is constitutive of human nature, we argue, and human morality is as important an adaptation as human cognition and...

Vonk, J., S. F. Brosnan, J. B. Silk, J. Henrich, A. S. Richardson, S. P. Lambeth, S. J. Schapiro, and D. J. Povinelli. “Chimpanzees Do Not Take Advantage of Very Low Cost Opportunities to Deliver Food to Unrelated Group Members”. Animal Behaviour 75 (2008): 1757-70.
We conducted experiments on two populations of chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes, to determine whether they would take advantage of opportunities to provide food rewards to familiar group members at little cost to themselves. In both of the experiments...
