Environmental shifts and migration foster human cooperation, simulations suggest

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have demonstrated, through multi-agent simulations in a two-dimensional space, that the combination of environmental variability and human migration may foster the evolution of human cooperative behavior because their joint effect disrupts non-cooperative groups while facilitating the emergence of cooperative groups. The research is published in the journal Chaos, Solitons & Fractals.
