"honest" or reliable signalling between animals which have an obvious motivation to bluff or deceive each otherSo, I see what you're going for here but this doesn't really establish what the Handicap principle is and oversells Zahavi's contribution. Zahavi's theory can be summarized as the handicap theory "predicts that secondary sexual traits are reliable indicators of quality because they are costly and reduce survival." [1]. Which is one aspect that is heavily debated.
However, honest signals are not necessarily costly, undermining the theoretical basis for the handicap principle, which remains unconfirmed by empirical evidence.a very verbose way of saying that this is based upon mathematical modeling and not observation.
the way humans invest money to increase income in the same currencyis this an analogy? Please make this clear.
This is illustrated in the figures from Johnstone 1997Be more specific in how this is illustrated. what does Johnstone claim?
American scientist Jared Diamond has proposed...active voice
Zahavi has invoked the gift-giving potlatch ceremony as a human example of the handicap principle in action.change to active voice.
which was considered to have altruistic behaviorswas? Change to 'are'.
helping-at-the-nest behaviorwhat is this?
kin selectionalso needs to be explained
it was a puzzle until handicap theory offered an explanationsentence is a weird shift in tone, this also implies that handicap principle must be the answer.
This was a rather interesting read, though it took a few days worth of reading up on Game Theory to really understand it all. Thanks for waiting while I slowly go through it, I wanna get this right on the first try (so to speak). This is for the history section, I'll have the rest out over the weekend.
I went ahead and made grammatical fixes and a few edits for clarity's sake. Please review when you can. At this time the page passes GA review, congratulations!!
