Evolutionary game theory is a general mathematical framework that describes the evolution of social traits. This framework forms the basis of many multilevel selection models and is also frequently used to model evolutionary dynamics on networks. Kin selection, which was initially restricted to describe social interactions between relatives, has also led to a broader mathematical approach, inclusive fitness, that can not only describe social evolution among relatives, but also in group structured populations or on social networks. It turns out that the underlying mathematics of game theory is fundamentally different from the approach of inclusive fitness. Thus, both approaches-evolutionary game theory and inclusive fitness-can be helpful to understand the evolution of social traits in group structured or spatially extended populations.
进化博弈论是一个通用的数学框架，用于描述社会特征的演变。该框架构成了许多多层次选择模型的基础，也经常用于在网络上模拟进化动态。最初仅限于描述亲属之间社会互动的亲缘选择，也导致了更广泛的数学方法，即适合度，它不仅可以描述亲属之间的社会进化，还可以描述在具有群体结构的种群或社会网络中。事实证明，博弈论的基础数学与适合度的方法在根本上是不同的。因此，进化博弈论和适合度这两种方法都有助于理解具有群体结构或空间扩展的种群中社会特征的进化。
