evolutionary game theory and sociality  

Definition

  • This entry introduces the novel notion of evolutionary game theory and its recent uses in explaining, naturalistically, the reality of social conventions as well as sociality in general. It explains what game theory aims at doing and how its borrowing conceptual tools from evolutionary theory in biology can help explain human social conventions and coordinated action, including social phenomena such as mutual trust.
