Richard Dawkins (I) popularized the notion that traits which evolve arc adaptive at the gene level through his use of the metaphor of the selfish gene. Genes ser

n The Repeated Prisoner's Dilemma has famously been used as an explanation for the evolution of cooperation among non-kin (Axelrod & Hamilton, 1981; Dawkins, 2006; Pinker, 2003; Trivers, 1971). In this section, we show how the same basic model can be used to explain many of the quirky features of our pro-
