EXCERPT: [...] Of course, since any mathematical model excludes some features and oversimplifies others, we must be careful not to draw overly broad conclusions. History is littered with utopian ideas that looked great on paper but collapsed in practice. Still, mathematical modeling can be quite effective in separating promising ideas from those that are conceptually flawed. Recently, I led a team of investigators to mathematically model how the structure of a society can encourage or suppress the evolution of cooperative behavior....
