I'm halfway through the Selfish Gene, and was intrigued by his talk of strategies. Are there any good books that talk about this development in human behavior?

It seems that there are some arguments in the literature about whether or not cooperation and altruism are examples of evolutionary stable strategies in humans:

For further information on social evolution, and strategies, I'd recommend Susan Blackmore : The meme machine. I very much enjoyed it after the Selfish Gene
