Blanton and Lane F. Fargher take a new approach to investigating human cooperation, developed from the vantage point of an \""anthropological imagination.\"" Drawing on the disciplines broad and holistic understanding of humans in biological, social, and cultural dimensions and across a wide range of temporal and cultural variation, the authors unite psychological and institutional approaches by demonstrating the interplay of institution building and cognitive abilities of the human brain.
