Egalitarian motives in humans
Article Abstract:
An experimental game that isolates the several egalitarian motives is developed to understand the phenomenon of costly taking and costly giving, which shows that the subjects reduce with an increase in other's income in humans. The various egalitarian motives are found to highly affect all the income-altering behaviors and hence can be highly important in the evolution of strong reciprocity, as well as cooperation in humans.

The ties that bind
Article Abstract:
New large-scale studies from the United States suggest that lower-quality day care may alter infant attachment and cortisol patterns. The findings indicate that male prairie voles are parental and pairbonding, whereas montane voles have multiple-mating males that leave the care of the young to the females.

Bad words: inappropriate terms can confuse rather than aid understanding
Article Abstract:
It is important that the terms used in behavioural and social science do not hamper understanding. Social scientists would benefit from closer links with biology, a more fundamental science.
