An LLM-based Agent Simulation Approach to the Study of Moral Evolution](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ziheng-2026-why-are-we-moral-llm/)** *(2026)* The paper asks why moral behaviour could evolve when natural selection seems to reward self-interest. Classical tools such as evolutionary game theory reduce agents to fixed strategies or payoff tables. As a result, they cannot show how cognition (memory, reasoning, recognising others' dispositions, communicating)… ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Inferring Forces and Learning Human Utilities from Videos ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/cvpr.2016.415) IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings · no summary yet**Yixin Zhu et al.*2016 · 79 citations* 2. **[Computer Vision – ECCV 2008 ↗](https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-88682-2) Lecture notes in computer science · no summary yet**Hutchison, David et al.*2008 · 36 citations* 3. **[Simple Role Assignment is Extraordinarily Effective for Safety Alignment](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ziheng-2026-simple-role-assignment-is-extraordinarily/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Zhou Ziheng, Jiakun Ding, Zhaowei Zhang, et al.*2026* 4. **[Why Are We Moral?
