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.
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.
