Biology doesn't the work the way the Neo-Darwinists, who you're thinking of, tells it does.
I recommend you take a look at this paper: http://videnssamfundet.au.dk/fileadmin/www.videnssamfundet.au.dk/nyheder/kalender/afviklede_aktiviteter/ingold.pdf
I also would recommend at the work of biologists like:
The famous physiologist Denis Noble and his two books:
"Dance to the Tune of Life: Biological Relativity": https://www.amazon.com/Dance-Tune-Life-Biological-Relativity/dp/1107176247/
"The Music of Life: Biology Beyond Genes": https://www.amazon.com/Music-Life-Biology-Beyond-Genes/dp/0199228361/
James A. Shapiro's "Evolution: A View from the 21st Century": https://www.amazon.com/Evolution-View-21st-Century-paperback/dp/0133435539
Like the renowned physiologist Denis Noble has shown in his new book 'Dance to the Tune of Life: Biological Relativity': https://www.amazon.com/Dance-Tune-Life-Biological-Relativity/dp/1107176247
Or as James A. Shapiro has shown in his book 'Evolution: A View from the 21st Century': https://www.amazon.com/Evolution-View-21st-Century-paperback/dp/0133435539
The paradigm of Neo-Darwinism (which "sociobiology" is derivative of) is wrong even on biological grounds. It gets even more ridiculously wrong when you introduce the anthropological critique.
Adding a tweak here and there won't change that.
And game theory is no better.
One's physical and psychological traits are not simply determined by genes.
Take a look at Jonathan Marks' What It Means to Be 98% Chimpanzee: Apes People and Their Genes.
Or Denis Noble and James A. Shapiro's stuff:

Or some Agustin Fuentes :

Biology doesn't work that way. Selection is not the single factor in evolution and selection doesn't operate at the level of the gene.
There's no "selfish gene", Neo-Darwinists like the asshole Dawkins are just arrogant pricks and not actual scientists.
