We develop a cultural evolutionary theory of the origins of prosocial religions and apply it to resolve two puzzles in human psychology and cultural history: (1) the rise of large-scale cooperation among strangers and, simultaneously, (2) the spread of prosocial religions in the last 10-12 millennia. We argue that these two developments were importantly linked and mutually energizing. We explai...

The average distance of a vertex $v$ of a connected graph $G$is the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to allother vertices of $G$. The proximity $pi(G)$ and the remoteness $rho(G)$of $G$ are defined as the minimum and maximum averagedistance of the vertices of $G$. In this paper we investigate the difference between proximity or remoteness and the classical distanceparameters diameter a...

introduction: the study on psychology of marriage rooted in the social issues. the field has also found its way to biomedicine. the current research, based on the document-term clustering methods, focus on term-proximity of documents that were related to the field of psychology of marriage in biomedicine literature. methods: the co-occurrence frequency of terms within the two different corpuses...

Religions and languages are social variables, like age, sex, wealth or political opinions, to be studied like any other organizational parameter. In fact, religiosity is one of the most important sociological aspects of populations. Languages are also obvious characteristics of the human species. Religions, languages appear though also disappear. All religions and languages evolve and survive w...

We introduce the notion of quasi-cyclic-noncyclic pair and its relevant new notion of coincidence quasi-best proximity points in a convex metric space. In this way we generalize the notion of coincidence-best proximity point already introduced by M. Gabeleh et al cite{Gabeleh}. It turns out that under some circumstances this new class of mappings contains the class of cyclic-noncyclic mappings ...
