Any books/articles for evolutionary stable strategy models in humans?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the exploration of evolutionary strategies in human behavior, particularly in relation to cooperation and altruism as potential evolutionary stable strategies.

The mention of scholarly resources suggests a desire for deeper understanding of social evolution and its implications for human behavior.
