 ===Revised Abstract===
-Computational models of biological evolution have shown that both parochial and altruistic behaviors increased the fitness of the host by working in concert with each other rather than co-evolving on their own beneficial merits. The benefits of these mutually reinforcing behaviors include better resources management within an in-group through the elimination of out-groups. We present new models in a robust computational system that allows for the evolution of parochial altruism. Populations of in-groups have the potential to evolve some combination of these behaviors to test whether the biological benefits gained from parochial altruism can find a correlate effect on fitness in a robust-first environment. However, the wide variation in resource availability within this computational system can give rise to "cooperative stalemates" among certain behavior categories. The new models display a dynamic interplay among these evolved behaviors as the populations compete for computational resources.
