Evolutionarily Stable Strategy A.K.A ESS...

Hello,

I've just got a small introduction to ESS (through "The selfish
Gene";well, I'm a beginner) and I had the following questions:-

Are the individuals in a species conscious of the ESS trends and their
adaption to them?

If they unconsciously adapt an ESS, then what ( or which parts of
their brains) decides that the individual should follow the trends?


What is the nature of the threshould information that an individual
requires to change from one strategy to the ESS? For instance, would
the individual require direct bruises caused due to its lack of ESS to
adapt to ESS? If yes, then how would a survival machine find the ESS?
Through trial-and-error or through memory-and-contemplation?

Hope you uderstand the context of my questions.

Regards.
