This lecture explores the concept of artificial selection of communities, presented by Silvia De Monte at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences as part of the "Decisions, Games, and Evolution" program. Delve into how evolutionary principles apply to community-level selection and cooperation across biological scales from cells to societies. The presentation examines how individual decision-making processes affect group survival, the organizing principles behind cooperation evolution, and the application of Evolutionary Game Theory to both biological and cultural evolution. Learn about the intersection of biology, cognitive science, economics, and physics in understanding collective behaviors, network dynamics, and population heterogeneity. This 1 hour 35 minute talk is part of a broader program addressing evolutionary game theoretic models, behavioral experiments, cultural evolution, eco-evolutionary dynamics, and cognitive aspects of decision-making in cooperative systems.
