The emergence of egalitarianism in a model of early human societies
Calmettes and Weiss, Heliyon, 2017. Population model with self-centred individuals who wish to dominate and dislike being dominated. Egalitarianism emerged spontaneously once language, especially gossip, allowed coalitions against dominant individuals, giving power sharing without altruistic traits. A simulation, not field data.
