Altruism, kin selection, and euolvtion are very interesting topics to me. The topic of euolvtion incorporates so many different aspects of life and how organisms have grown to become what they are today. The behaviors and adaptations all species have undergone are tremendous. It proves how advanced organisms are to be able to recognize, on one level or another, what will make their species thrive and adapt their behaviors accordingly. Organisms have come to realize that kin selection is extremely important to their existence. Most species tend to mate with others of their species that are just as well adapted to their environment as themselves or more so. This concept ensures offspring that are naturally prone to survive. Organisms that behave in this way also tend to be protective of their immediate kin in order to promote survival of their species. In the animal kingdom monogamous partners are protective of each other's survival as well as their offsprings'. They don't typically protect more distant kin. Humans have differing protective levels for kin as well as friends, affiliates, and others. Humans typically are protective of their immediate kin, such as children, parents, grandparents, and siblings. Often we see people who are just as protective towards nonbiological family members such as adopted members as well as step-members and close friends/acquaintances. Depending on ones culture additional family members can be included in this close kin protective circle. Since euolvtion is based on survival and adaptation progress, some species have adopted an altruistic approach. These species have found that the reciprocal form is the most effective for euolvtion. With this approach a species will not be taken advantage of by others who are free loaders . This will in turn promote better adaptation skills required for euolvtion.
