Gee, maybe Freud did get it right when he proclaimed, “Biology is destiny.” New research shows that if you’re in the running to work on an important project at the office, the odds will be more in your favor if you’re the same gender as the colleague who’s choosing partners. Via Kenneth Mikkelsen

By developing computer simulations of neural networks that evolved over 50,000 generations, scientists at Trinity University have concluded that intelligence is an evolutionary byproduct of social teamwork.

Similar to the second source i curated, this article explores the notion that intelligence is an evolutionary byproduct of social teamwork. The idea that without cooperation then intelligence would not be what it is today.
a perfect article for cooperative contribution :)

David Sloan Wilson believes that ‘multilevel selection’ sees individuals evolve to behave in a way that benefits their group, which then does better as a result. It could have important implications for business.

Civil society demands a certain amount of diplomacy -- even if those rude co-workers in the comic strip "Dilbert" are pretty funny. But planes have crashed and patients have misunderstood diagnoses as a result of people being too polite. Indeed, the higher the stakes, the more polite people often get -- exacerbating the static that disrupts effective communication, according to an article published recently in a journal of the Washington, D.C.-based Association for Psychological Science. It's a problem, and some businesses -- including a number of airlines -- are addressing it by training employees in how to recognize when the time has come to skip the finesse and be blunt.

Rather than succumbing to the primitive “fight or flight” instinct, men actually become more sociable and cooperative when under stress, according to new psychological study.

Researchers at Carlos III University of Madrid and the University of Zaragoza theoretically predict, in a scientific study, that contact networks have no influence on cooperation among individuals. These researchers have mathematically examined what occurs when groups of people who behave as the experiments say have to decide whether or not to cooperate, and how the existence of cooperation, globally or in the group, depends on the structure of the interactions.

Research shows that our first years of life shape our ability to play well with others.

Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Plön and the University of Cologne have discovered that people select future social partners on the basis of their cooperative behaviour and not according to whether they punish the egoism of others.
This finding is surprising as it shows that people identify particularly altruistic partners in this way and could benefit from their behaviour. Consequently, people conceal uncooperative behaviour.
However, it remains a mystery as to why people would like to conceal occasions when they punish others for their self-interest, despite the fact that they have no sanctions to fear.
