RESUMO
We construct an evolutionary model of a population consisting of two types of interacting individuals that reproduce under random environmental conditions. We show that not only does the evolutionarily dominant behavior maximize the number of offspring of each type, it also minimizes the correlation between the number of offspring of each type, driving it toward -1. We provide several examples that illustrate how correlation can be used to explain the evolution of cooperation.
