""A Cooperative Species" is an important book by two masters in their field. It deals with a topic that is of great contemporary interest and presents, clearly and logically, a wealth of up-to-date material from a wide range of disciplines."--R. E. Rowthorn, professor emeritus, University of Cambridge"This is an outstanding book. Drawing from the state of knowledge across several behavioral disciplines, it will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the theoretical and empirical aspects of the evolution of cooperation."--Simon Gachter, University of Nottingham
