On the evolutionary edge of altruism : a game-theoretic proof of Hamilton's rule for a simple case of siblings

Oded Stark; You Qiang Wang

We offer a game-theoretic proof of Hamilton's rule for the spread of altruism. For a simple case of siblings, we show that the rule can be derived as the outcome of a one-shot prisoner's dilemma game between siblings. -- evolution of altruism ; Hamilton's rule ; one-shot prisoner's dilemma game
