Collaboration or social interactions in which two or more individuals coordinate their behavior to produce outcomes from which both individuals benefit are common in nature. Individuals from many species hunt together, defend their territory, and form coalitions in intragroup competition. However, we still know very little about the proximate mechanisms underlying these behaviors. Recent theories of human cognitive evolution have emphasized the role collaboration may have played in the selection of socio‐cognitive skills. It has been argued that the capacity to form shared goals and joint intentions with others, is what allows humans to collaborate so flexibly and efficiently. Although there is no evidence that nonhuman animals are capable of shared intentionality, there is conceivably a wide range of proximate mechanisms that support forms of, potentially flexible, collaboration in other species. We review the experimental literature with the aim of evaluating what we know about how other species achieve collaboration; with a particular focus on chimpanzees. We structure the review with a new categorization of collaborative behavior that focuses on whether individuals intentionally coordinate actions with others. We conclude that for a wider comparative perspective we need more data from other species but the findings so far suggest that chimpanzees, and possibly other great apes, are capable of understanding the causal role of a partner in collaboration.

动物如何合作:基本的潜在机制。

在两个人或多个人之间协调其行为以产生既能使两个人都受益的结果的协作或社交互动,在自然界中很常见。来自许多物种的个体一起狩猎,保卫自己的领土,并在集团内部竞争中组成联盟。但是,对于这些行为的潜在机制,我们仍然知之甚少。人类认知进化的最新理论强调了协作在选择社会认知技能中可能发挥的作用。有人认为,与他人形成共同目标和共同意图的能力使人类能够如此灵活,高效地进行协作。尽管没有证据表明非人类动物具有共同的意图,但可以想象到,有各种各样的支持机制,包括:在其他物种中可能具有灵活性的协作。我们回顾实验文献,以评估我们对其他物种如何实现协作的了解;特别是黑猩猩。我们使用一种新的协作行为分类来构建评论,该分类关注个人是否有意与他人协调行动。我们得出结论,从更广泛的比较角度来看,我们需要其他物种的更多数据,但迄今为止的发现表明,黑猩猩以及其他可能的大猿能够了解合作伙伴在合作中的因果作用。我们使用一种新的协作行为分类来构建评论,该分类关注个人是否有意与他人协调行动。我们得出结论,从更广泛的比较角度来看,我们需要其他物种的更多数据,但迄今为止的发现表明,黑猩猩以及其他可能的大猿能够了解合作伙伴在合作中的因果作用。我们使用协作行为的新分类来构建评论,该分类关注个人是否有意与他人协调行动。我们得出结论,从更广泛的比较角度来看,我们需要其他物种的更多数据,但迄今为止的发现表明,黑猩猩以及其他可能的大猿能够了解合作伙伴在合作中的因果作用。
