The essential conditions for adaptations to evolve for initiating coalitional aggression include the need for potential long-term reproductive gains to outweigh the costs, a belief in victory, and a shared risk among members.

Instead, equitable sharing or a perception of fair distribution of benefits can also motivate participation in coalitional aggression.
