• Evolution of social behavior


    • This model lets us explore how the appearance of certain social behaviors can affect evolutionary population dynamics. If greedy guys are noticed and kept at bay by being punished for their behavior, they are prevented from taking over the population.

      This aspect can be transferred to many real-world examples in humans and in other species. For example, monitoring of behaviors and the existence of graduated sanctioning mechanisms are also important elements of governance in the sustainable use of common pool resources.

      This is the same model but with a smaller "world" which requires less computation and might therefore run faster in the html version.
