The Survival Game
Why do aggressive animals not take over? Why does cooperation survive in a competitive world?
The answer lies in evolutionary game theory - where strategies compete for survival.
The Hawk-Dove Challenge
A population has two types: Hawks (aggressive, fight for resources) and Doves (passive, share resources). What happens when 10% Hawks appear in a Dove population?
Rules of the game:
Hawk vs Hawk: Both fight, risk injury (lose fitness)
Hawk vs Dove: Hawk takes everything, Dove gets nothing
Dove vs Dove: Share peacefully, both gain
Predict: What will happen over many generations?
