DESCRIPTION:Cooperation means that one individual pays a cost for another 
 to receive a benefit. Cooperation can be at variance with natural selectio
 n. Why should you help competitors? Yet cooperation is abundant in nature 
 and is important component of evolutionary innovation.\nCooperation can be
  seen as the master architect of living matter\, as the third fundamental 
 principle of evolution beside mutation and selection. I will present some 
 mathematical principles of evolution of cooperation.\n\nFurther reading:\n
