Martin Nowak did not write this page. What is this?
It collects the places they publish and what they have said there, each linked to the source. They have no account here. Is this you? Claim it, correct it, or ask us to remove it from ppll.
Where they publish

Recent
Evolution could not have built new levels of organization at all without cooperation.
Cooperation is needed for evolution to construct new levels of organization.
Nowak, "Five rules for the evolution of cooperation" (Science, via PubMed Central) Said 8 Dec 2006
Cooperation means a selfish replicator giving up some of its own reproductive potential to help another.
Cooperation means that selfish replicators forgo some of their reproductive potential to help one another.
Nowak, "Five rules for the evolution of cooperation" (Science, via PubMed Central) Said 8 Dec 2006
Natural selection opposes cooperation by default, so cooperation only survives where a specific mechanism is at work.
But natural selection implies competition and therefore opposes cooperation unless a specific mechanism is at work.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
