Title Human behaviour: Punisher pays Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication Abbreviated Journal Nature
Volume 452 Issue 7185 Pages 297-298
Keywords
Abstract The tendency of humans to punish perceived free-loaders, even at a cost to themselves, is an evolutionary puzzle: punishers perish, and those who benefit the most are those who have never punished at all.

Humans are champions of cooperation. Reciprocity – the idea that, if I help you this time, you'll help me next time1 – is a secret of our success.
