Abstract
Though defection is dominant among individual interactions, a mechanism by which collective cooperation emerges is a well-known and extremely important issue in biology and sociology. (1971) elaborates the mathematics of reciprocal altruism, including human reciprocal altruism. Many simulations have been done on the evolution of cooperation. However, some researchers insist that real biological networks or real social relationships have heterogeneous structures such as the “small world” (Watts, 1999) or the “scale-free network” (Barabasi and Albert, 1999). (2001) show that a protein network is a scale-free network. In the social sciences, (2001) observe that the structure of an email network is scale free, and (1999) verify that costar relationships among film actors is also a scale-free network.
