This 30-minute talk by Kavita Jain from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences explores neutral genetic diversity in changing environments as part of the "Decisions, Games, and Evolution" program. Discover how environmental changes impact genetic diversity through an evolutionary lens. The talk is featured in a two-week program (March 10-21, 2025) that brings together biologists, cognitive scientists, economists, and physicists to examine cooperation across biological scales, decision-making processes, and evolutionary game theory. Learn about the organizing principles behind the evolution of cooperation, from cellular behaviors to societal dynamics, and how individual choices affect group survival. The program includes pedagogic lectures covering evolutionary game theory models, behavioral experiments on social dilemmas, cultural evolution, eco-evolutionary dynamics, and cognitive aspects of decision-making.
