Document Summary

Hamilton"s rule: helpful behaviours increase the helper"s inclusive fitness if rb>c. Could re-write as: r1b > r2c: r1 individual"s relatedness to the recipient of help, r2 individual"s relatedness to the helper (r2 is always 1, b = benefit to the recipient of help, c = cost to the helper. Prisoner"s dilemma: each player can cheat or cooperate with their partner, goal is to minimize your own jail time, temptation, reward, punishment, sucker"s payoff, ordered from best to worst in my point of view.
