increases average fitness in society. It continues to question the basis for altruism when Simon make an interesting point when he says "Many population biologists argue that, except for altruism to close relatives, primate behavior that appears to be altruistic amounts to reciprocal altruism, behavior undertaken with an expectation of reciprocation, hence incurring no net cost to fitness. Therein is proposed a simple and robust mechanism, based on primate docility and bounded rationality, which can account for the evolutionary success of genuinely altruistic behavior. Because docility, receptivity to social influence, contributes greatly to fitness in primate species, it will be positively selected." This idea presented by Simon can be argued, and I do not fully agree with his approach that all altruism is reciprocal. The article goes onto explain as a consequence of this behavior, society can impose a "tax" on the gross benefits gained by individuals from docility by inducing docile individuals to engage in altruistic behaviors. These limits on rationality in the face of environmental complexity prevent the individual from avoiding this "tax." Therefore, an upper bound is imposed on altruism by the condition that there must remain a net fitness advant
