9.8 The Evolution of “Networked Minds”
183
Fig. 9.1 Illustration of the outcome of computer simulations of the evolution of the trait of “friendliness”. While the familiar “homo economicus” results for most parameter combinations, an otherregarding “homo socialis” results after many generations, if offspring (children) grow up close to
their parents. Note that intergenerational migration is low when local reproduction is high and vice
versa. (Reproduction from Grund et al. [14], with kind permission of the Springer Nature Publishing

Fig. 9.2 Snapshots of a computer simulation illustrating the emergence of other-regarding preferences (blue and green) in two initially separated populations (red and orange). The mixture of
green and blue agents also indicates a cooperation between strangers. (Reproduced from Helbing
