Interesting. Does this then become informative about the level of cooperation vs competition in the population?

In ping-pong where it is pure competition it stabilises at 50:50. In everyday life where we largely collaborate it settles around 90:10.

Would be interesting to see if there are variations over populations in time or space with differing levels of competition/conflict. Ofc these would need to persist long enough for the populations to adjust.

P.S. This is probably just another plausible sounding evo-psych bs theory. Idk why people give AI such a hard time for hallucinations. We are just the same. I guess we generally just apply more filters before expressing ourselves publicly. The problem with AI content is that humans take it at face value and publish without scrutiny.

Evolutionary temporal variation is addressed in the article. Although that could just say that without bipedalism, the pressure to use the hands to climb forces equal use over the available hands.
