Orgel & Crick (1980) — Selfish DNA: the ultimate parasite. Nature.

doi: 10.1038/284604a0

Supports: Selection can favor sequences that replicate within genomes; not a theory of human personalities.

Weinstein & Kuris (2016) — Independent origins of parasitism in Animalia. Biology Letters.

doi: 10.1098/rsbl.2016.0324

Supports: Parasitism evolved repeatedly in animals; it is not one ancestral human personality.

Mi et al. (2000) — Syncytin is a captive retroviral envelope protein involved in human placental morphogenesis. Nature.

doi: 10.1038/35001608

Supports: Inherited viral machinery can be repurposed for useful host functions.

Nowak (2006) — Five rules for the evolution of cooperation. Science.

doi: 10.1126/science.1133755

Supports: Evolutionary models explain conditions under which cooperation can arise.

Warneken & Tomasello (2006) — Altruistic helping in human infants and young chimpanzees. Science.

doi: 10.1126/science.1121448

Supports: Young children and chimpanzees helped others in experiments without immediate rewards.

Fehr & Fischbacher (2003) — The nature of human altruism. Nature.

doi: 10.1038/nature02043

Supports: Review of experimental research: altruism and selfishness coexist in human societies.

Kunda (1990) — The case for motivated reasoning. Psychological Bulletin.

doi: 10.1037/0033-2909.108.3.480

Supports: Motives can influence how people select and evaluate evidence.

Dana, Weber & Kuang (2007) — Exploiting moral wiggle room: experiments demonstrating an illusory preference for fairness. Economic Theory.

doi: 10.1007/s00199-006-0153-z

Supports: Experimental participants were less generous when consequences of decisions were obscured.
