Note: Using the Emergent Seed to Completely Characterize “evolution and Information in a Gift Giving Game.”

Let β be the ratio of benefit to cost of an altruistic act controlling for trembles. In “Evolution and Information in a Gift Giving Game” [3] the stochastically stable strategy is found if β < 2 or β > 4. In this note the stochastically stable strategy is found for the intermediary range and the speed of evolution is bounded. It is shown that if β ≤ 3 then players are selfish in the long run, if β ≥ 3 then players are altruistic in the long run and use a particularly strong strategy, called the “team” strategy.
