There are no truly altruistic capsuleers anywhere because they help others and expect to feel good about themselves for doing so.

Thus, it is not an act of selflessness, but of egotism.
Isn't it the same in the base species?

The conflicting set of instincts that promote both altruism and egotism is the same in both, at least.

Not like an average baseliner consciously expects to raise his group's chances of survival or his siblings' genes to propagate by helping the poor, anyway.
