Interest in the evolutionary origins and drivers of warfare in ancient and contemporary small-scale human societies has greatly increased in the last decade, and has been particularly spurred by exciting archaeological discoveries that suggest our ancestors led more violent lives than previously documented. However, the striking observation that warfare is an almost-exclusively male activity remains unexplained. Three general hypotheses have been proposed, concerning greater male effectiveness…

It is argued that cultural and evolutionary explanations on the emergence of warfare are not alternative but analyze biological diversity at two distinct levels and that lethal violence and aggression toward outgroup individuals are two linked but distinct phenomena.

Abstract Recent years have seen great interest in the suggestion that between-group aggression and within-group altruism have coevolved. However, these efforts have neglected the possibility that…
The evolution of altruism through war is highly sensitive to population structure and to civilian and fighter mortality
- BiologyProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 2021
A well-known model that explores the coevolution of altruism and war is reexamine under a much broader range of conditions to those used in the original paper, showing that the degree of genetic differentiation between groups produced by Choi and Bowles’ original model is much greater than empirical estimates of FST between hunter-gatherer groups.

An evolutionary theory of large‐scale human warfare: Group‐structured cultural selection
- BiologyEvolutionary anthropology

It is proposed that group‐structured cultural selection explains the phenomenon of dead warriors and how humans solve the problem of collective action in warfare at the evolutionarily novel scale of hundreds of genetically unrelated individuals.

The use of evolutionary theory for explaining human warfare is an expanding area of inquiry, but it remains obstructed by two important hurdles. One is that there is ambiguity about how to build an…
Did Warfare Among Ancestral Hunter-Gatherers Affect the Evolution of Human Social Behaviors?
- PsychologyScience
- 2009
A model of the evolutionary impact of between-group competition and a new data set that combines archaeological evidence on causes of death during the Late Pleistocene and early Holocene with ethnographic and historical reports on hunter-gatherer populations finds that the estimated level of mortality in intergroup conflicts would have had substantial effects, allowing the proliferation of group-beneficial behaviors that were quite costly to the individual altruist.
Warfare and reproductive success in a tribal population

Data on participation in small-scale livestock raids among the Nyangatom, a group of nomadic pastoralists in East Africa, suggests that in this cultural context raiding provides opportunities for increased reproductive success over the lifetime.
War, space, and the evolution of Old World complex societies
- SociologyProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 2013
A model that uses cultural evolution mechanisms to predict where and when the largest-scale complex societies should have arisen in human history supports theories that emphasize the role of institutions in state-building and suggests a possible explanation why a long history of statehood is positively correlated with political stability, institutional quality, and income per capita.
Lethal Aggression in Mobile Forager Bands and Implications for the Origins of War

Investigating lethal aggression in a sample of 21 mobile forager band societies derived systematically from the standard cross-cultural sample suggests that most incidents of lethal aggression among MFBS may be classified as homicides, a few others as feuds, and a minority as war.

Current evidence supports the hypothesis that selection has favored a hunt-and-kill propensity in chimpanzees and humans, and that coalitional killing has a long history in the evolution of both species.

Sexual differences among humans are illustrated by showing that in places as diverse as the parishes of nineteenth-century Sweden, the villages of seventeenth-century China, and the forests of twentieth-century Brazil, men have tended to seek power and resources to attract mates, while women have sought a secure environment for raising children.

Ancestral War and the Evolutionary Origins of “Heroism”
- BiologyThe Journal of Politics

Two simulations explore the possibility that heroism evolved as a specialized form of altruism in response to war and show that war selects strongly for heroism but only weakly for a domain-general altruistic propensity that promotes both heroism and other privately costly, group-benefiting behaviors.
