The problem of cooperation1−8 is that defection is evolutionarily stable. If everybody in a population defects and one individual cooperates then this indi-vidual has a lower payoff and will be opposed by selection. Thus, the emergence of cooperation is thought to require specific mechanisms: for example, several cooperators have to arise simultaneously to overcome an invasion barrier9 or arise as spatial clusters10,11. This understanding is based on traditional con-cepts of evolutionary stability and dynamics of infinite populations12−16. Here we study evolutionary game dynamics in finite populations17−20 and show that a single cooperator using a reciprocal strategy3,21 can invade a population of defectors with a probability that correspon...
