Evolutionary Stable Strategy is the "Nash Equilibrium" theory applied to evolution theories. It actually implies that certain strategies (ESS) exist that ensure that if evolution is only achieved using "Natural Selection" then the species that are following the ESS will always be selected over the mutants. This ensures long-term survival and dominance of a race or specie. It has been long discussed that being "Social" is the humans' ESS, yet living socially has been seen in many species, and personally I think the true ESS is "Deception" or more correctly put "The Ability to Deceive".
having said all of these, there is also the Essential Survival Strategy (again ESS), this refers to minimum strategies that a player (specie, race, …) should adopt in order to survive, this does not ensure long term prospect and dominance of that player however it is basically what is needed to stay in the game, this acts as a cornerstone for evolutionary stable strategies. I think in case of us humans!!! Essential survival strategy consists of being Omnivorous! (So beware Vegetarians!)
