Cooperation and the evolution of hunter-gatherer storytelling [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex

Here, Smith et al. show benefits of storytelling in Agta hunter-gatherer communities, as storytellers have higher reproductive success and storytelling is associated with higher cooperation in the group.
