Abstract: Abstract Suppose you or a primate monkey find a tree full of peaches while wandering alone, in this situation, both of you will face a decision-making problem: will you enjoy the ripe peaches alone or invite other wanderers to share? If you’re willing to share, you can scream,“Hey, hey, guys, come on! Here are a lot of peaches! Come on!” Hearing that, they may rush over, scramble for the peaches and even may not leave you one.
