title: Hominids, coalitions, and weapons; not vehicles creator: Moore, Jim subject: Behavioral Biology subject: Evolution subject: Sociobiology subject: Evolutionary Psychology description: Pace Wilson & Sober, group selection has not won over biology. However, the combination of fission/fusion organization (favoring coalition formation and relatively complex tactical behavior) with weapons (which in conjunction with group and/or ambush attacks greatly reduce the costs to actors of lethal inter- and intragroup aggression) create circumstances which may well have favored group selection in hominid evolution. date: 1994 type: Journal (Paginated) type: PeerReviewed format: text/html identifier: http://cogprints.org/173/1/WilSob.html identifier: Moore, Jim (1994) Hominids, coalitions, and weapons; not vehicles.
