“the prosocial needs and rewards of a physically weak species that relied on collective parenting (Hrdy, 2009) and distributed knowledge (Tomasello, 2014; Henrich, 2016) to survive and carve a moral niche in a harsh world can similarly be hijacked to produce a manic theater of hyper-social monitoring”
From Hypernatural Monitoring: A Social Rehearsal Account of Smartphone Addiction (2018) · cites this paper as Henrich, 2016
In the citing paper
“Being neurologically adapted to imitate and to comply with group norms is one example of gene-culture co-evolution (Haidt, 2012: 241;Henrich, 2016;Henrich & Muthukrishna, 2021: 226;Richerson & Boyd, 2005).”
From Durkheim, Indoctrinability and the Moral Ambivalence of Human Sociality (2026) · cites this paper as Henrich, 2016
In the citing paper
“Cultural markers indicate who belongs to the same or similar cultural group and who is likely to share one's taken-for-granted knowledge, norms and morality (Henrich, 2016: 201;Tomasello, 2018: 91).”
From Durkheim, Indoctrinability and the Moral Ambivalence of Human Sociality (2026) · cites this paper as Henrich, 2016
In the citing paper
“For instance, morality and particular ways of regulating social interaction, e.g. by punishing norm violators (Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1982: 187;Henrich, 2016: 196) or executing anti-social bullies (Boehm, 2000: 72-73; Wrangham 2019a: 146-153), determine the probability and the quality of collective goods.”
From Durkheim, Indoctrinability and the Moral Ambivalence of Human Sociality (2026) · cites this paper as Henrich, 2016
In the citing paper
“as noted, we are ultra-social and ultra-cooperative, and our beliefs about people's social standing, knowledge, intentions, abilities, etc. are critical for our flourishing (Sterelny 2007: 720;Tomasello 2014: 190f;Henrich 2016).”

“and potentially support cultural group selection (Boyd & Richerson, 1985; Henrich 2015)”
From The origins of language in teaching (2017) · cites this paper as Henrich 2015
In the citing paper
“Hypotheses for the evolution of increased cooperation could therefore in theory contribute to explaining why docility evolved (e.g., Henrich, 2016; Richerson et al., 2016).”
From Hypotheses for the Evolution of Reduced Reactive Aggression in the Context of Human Self-Domestication (2019) · cites this paper as Henrich, 2016
In the citing paper
“However, changes in individual cultural behavior that occurred on a longer time-scale are known to have led to gene-culture coevolution, e.g., the development of cooking, or milk-drinking by adults (Wrangham, 2009; Curry, 2013; Henrich, 2016).”
From Hypotheses for the Evolution of Reduced Reactive Aggression in the Context of Human Self-Domestication (2019) · cites this paper as Henrich, 2016

“The ability of humans to create and disseminate culture is considered the single most important factor in our species' dominance on Earth 1 .”

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.
