Here's what I don't quite get (and would be interested in knowing
more about from those who understand priority): I read and was deeply
influenced by "The Evolution of Cooperation" by Robert Axelrod,
shortly after its 1984 publication. Axelrod ran a round-robin
Prisoners Dilemma tournament, which yielded strategies he called "tit
for tat" and "tit for two tats" as victors (depending on the
conditions), and explored such matters (if memory serves) as
recognition/reciprocity and recurrent contacts.
Why is there no mention of this in the Nowak stuff, which sounds
oddly familiar to my non-technical ear?

Looking at his selected list of publications (http://

interested in his work.
There are enough pdf's of papers linked to the publication list to
delay any further reaction by a few months.
Nick started us discussing this thread:
Hauert C, A Traulsen, H Brandt, MA Nowak, K Sigmund (2007). Via
freedom to coercion: the emergence of costly punishment. Science
316: 1905-1907
just last week in the context of road rage.

Though this might interest some on the list; I'd be interested to
hear any reactions to Nowak's work:

In Games, an Insight Into the Rules of Evolution
By CARL ZIMMER
Martin Nowak's projects may seem randomly scattered across the
sciences but they share an underlying theme: cooperation.
