Evolutionary game theory (EGT) is the application of population genetics-inspired models of change in gene frequency in populations to game theory. It differs from classical game theory by focusing on the dynamics of strategy change more than the properties of strategy equilibria. Despite its name, evolutionary game theory is practised more by economists than biologists.
The common methodology to study the evolutionary dynamics in games is through replicator equations. Replicator equations assume infinite populations, continuous time, complete mixing and that strategies breed true. The attractors (stable fixed points) of the equations are equivalent with evolutionarily stable state.
