Evidence For Altruistic Behaviours In Human Infants And Chimpanze

How interesting, but it would definitely make sense given that both species rely strongly on living in a group whereby survival of the group will often depend on one member helping out others even if that member receives no particular benefit. Both chimps and humans are products of the troupe social system which is best exemplified in smaller monkeys. As much as it is often about survival of the fittest in nature, among many primates it makes sense to sometimes give up a little of your time to assist your fellow troupe member (so long as that doesn't compromise your position in the hierarchy).
