Then why in nature do animals such as the cheetah, sacrifice their own lives, to save people from their family?  Why do aligators carry turtles in their mouths back to water for safety?  Why animals such as elephants refuse to abandon members of their herd that are born with deformities, even if it means sacrificing their own lives? 

You can not prove that nature only acts out of self-interest.  Nature does not follow the rule of survival of the fittest.

not with human intervention, fatboy.

i think the philosophy refers more to adaptation of entire species rather than the self-interest of any particular individuals, fatboy.
