In class we have discussed games in which the payers are people, but the theory applies to any setting in which the payoffs to those playing the game depend on their own actions and on the actions of other payers. In evolutionary biology, animals or genes are the players, and the payoffs are often taken to be fitness. A branch of game theory, called Evolutionary Game Theory, deals with the dynamics of populations in these games. John Maynard Smith formulated the concept of Evolutionarily Stable Strategies to deal with these games.
