The course discusses basic concepts of the evolutionary game theory and provides a survey of the most important applications to modeling of economic behavior. I also consider models of endogeneous formation of payoff functions. The second part discusses convergence of evolutionary dynamics to mixed equiliria including different behavior strategies. Models of cooperative and altruistic behavior spreading are considered. Finally I reveal special features of human behavior evolution in comparison with behavior in biological populations.
