Bihary, Zsolt (Corvinus)
The evolution of human civilization
I build a simple evolutionary game theory model for the evolution of
human societies. The starting point is the Hawk-Dove game, where cooperative
and non-cooperative subpopulations compete. I introduce social innovations as
random perturbations to the payoff matrix, with a social cost. Innovations that
increase productivity are selected as different societies compete
with each other. I classify innovations conceptually and mathematically.
With a particular specification of the model, society
evolves first towards theocracy and then to secularism.
