Let's talk about non-corporative game theory in evolutionary
biology. How men and women cheat against each other to get the best
genes for the next generation. Male try to "mate" with as many
females as possible. If the chance arises, they also try to mate
with coupled females (equates to another male helping to raise his
offsprings, for free!). Of course, this has not been explicitly
observed in human societies, but we can never be sure. Females also
try to cheat in this game. They generally couple with a mate that
has prime resources at his disposal, then attempts to mate with a
variety of different males to ensure genetic variety in her
offsprings, even if her host male has got excellent genes. Some
mathematical modeling has been done for fixed-mate populations, and
its estimated that 5/13 of the females cheat and bear offsprings
that are not of the host male's.
What's your view???
