= Homo reciprocans
{wiki=Homo_reciprocans}
Homo reciprocans is a term used in social sciences and economics to describe a model of human behavior that emphasizes the importance of reciprocity in social interactions. The concept suggests that humans are not purely self-interested but engage in mutually beneficial exchanges, where individuals are motivated by a sense of fairness and social norms. This model contrasts with the more traditional economic model of Homo economicus, which assumes that individuals act solely based on self-interest to maximize their own utility.
