It is very interesting that in some ways humans are very similar to other primates with respect to self-interest, but in some ways we are so very altruistic..that's the cross-roads intersection for us between the jungle survival and ethics, morality, religion etc. Human edifices seem to be built with elements from both..We can't survive on altruism alone in general, but we cannot progress with capitalism alone without injecting the necessary dose of altruistic healing..
