This conference talk explores evolutionary dynamics on graphs and how network structures influence evolutionary processes. Nikhil Sharma from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences examines how cooperation emerges across biological scales from cells to societies. Discover how graph theory helps understand the steering of evolution, particularly in the context of evolutionary game theory. The presentation is part of the "Decisions, Games, and Evolution" program that brings together biologists, cognitive scientists, economists, and physicists to explore decision-making across different scales. Learn about organizing principles behind the evolution of cooperation, how individual choices in social conflicts are affected by network structures, and how evolution of individual behavior shapes population-level outcomes. The talk contributes to a broader discussion on evolutionary game theoretic models, cultural evolution, eco-evolutionary dynamics, and cognitive aspects of decision-making.
