Our altruism is a paradox. It's obviously genetic. And I think it's fair to say it evolved via natural selection, not gifted by the gods or aliens. Yet the nature of our altruism seemingly contradicts the mechanics of genetic evolution. Without resolving this paradox I don't think it's possible to fully understand either the nature of our altruism or the mechanics of natural selection. Resolving that question will be like moving from Newtonian physics to Relativity.
