The Evolution of Behavior.
Smith, John Maynard
Scientific American, v239 n3 p176-92 Sep 1978
The topic of altruistic behavior is an important one in studying the evolution of behavior. It is questioned whether natural selection can actually favor patterns of behavior that apparently do not favor the survival of the individual. Game theory models are presented to help explore the problem. (MA)
