Evolution of spite versus evolution of altruism through a disbandment mechanism

In this study, we focus on the mechanism by which individuals choose to keep or stop the interaction according to the opponent's behavior. Using the evolutionary game theory, we investigate the evolution of altruism and spite under this mechanism. Our model revealed that the evolution of spite is less likely than the evolution of altruism.PMID:38387802 | DOI:10.1016/j.tpb.2024.02.008
