- According to the model, societies with historically tight kin relationships will regulate cooperation through shared moral values, revenge, emotions of external shame, and notions of purity and disgust.Enke, Benjamin - Kinship, Cooperation, and the Evolution of Moral Systems, 2019 - 5 Variables
In this paper, the author argues that moral systems evolved as a way to enforce cooperation between people outside of kin groups. Because cooperation within kin groups has apparent adaptive advantages, it is argued that these moral systems will be less important for societies with tight kin groups and conversely more important for those with looser kin groups. In order to test this theory, the author creates an original model that incorporates both ethnographic data and data from contemporary countries. Thus, it is postulated that historical kinship practices will influence contemporary systems. The paper concludes that there is sufficient historical evidence for this theory.
