Altruism: There seems to a big concern in some scientific/philosophic circles about the utility of altruism for individual survival. Well, DUH! Of course it helps. Look at human numbers, born of at least in large part, “help others”; put “community” above “self”; and other such altruistic shibboleths. I suspect our demise may be found in the same altruistic urge as our appetites exceed our needs.
