Mechanisms of group bonding provided an advantage in intergroup competition and conflict.
“Multilevel selection theory (Bourrat, 2021;Boyd, 2018;Price, 1970) suggests that mechanisms of group bonding provided an advantage in intergroup competition and conflict.”

According to the Price equation, the transmission bias E(w_i •Δz_i) is crucial for the change in character across generations, just as is the selection pressure at the higher level, which is in this case the costs of losing in a situation of intergroup competition.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
