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 conversation highlights interest in literature that delves into these themes, with a specific recommendation for Susan Blackmore's "The Meme Machine" as a valuable follow-up to Richard Dawkins' "The Selfish Gene." The mention of scholarly resources suggests a desire for deeper understanding of social evolution and its implications for human behavior.

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?
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
