    Origins of Human Cooperation

    Abstract: Although great apes collaborate for some purposes, recent studies comparing chimpanzees and human children suggest that human collaboration is unique both cognitively and motivationally. In particular, humans seem adapted for collaborative foraging, as even young children display numerous relevant mechanisms, including special ways of coordinating and communicating, special ways of sharing food, and special forms of social evaluation. The 鈥渟hared intentionality hypothesis鈥 specifies the ontogeny of these underlying mechanisms and their consequences for both human cognition and human social life.
