title: Cultural group selection in the light of the selection of extended behavioral patterns.
abstract: The cultural group selection hypothesis is supported by considerations of short-term and long-term behavioral patterns of group members, and the short-term and long-term consequences of that behavior. The key to understanding cooperation lies in understanding that the effect of an extended behavioral pattern does not equal - and might even be opposite to - the added effects of its parts.
