We introduce a two-player survival game which can fall into any of these four classes. It may also change, for example from a Hawk-Dove g

uction can be genetic or cultural. The traditional approach to evolutionary game theory is based on the replicator equation (Taylor & .Jonker 1978, Hofbauer et al 1979, Zeeman 1980, Hofbauer & Sigmund 1988,1998, 2003, Cressman 2003), which examines deterministic dynamics in infinitely large, well-mixed

The classical approach to evolutionary game dynamics is based on the replicator equation (Taylor Sc Jonker 1978, Hofbauer et at 1979, Zeeman 1980, Hofbauer & Sigmund 1988, 1998). The population is well-mixed and infinitely large. Any two individuals are equally likely t
