Altruism Seen in Lower Animals May Be True
A 30 year old researcher, diving off the Antarctic Peninsula, reports what may be the first documented case of true altruism in lower animals. Robert A. Daniels observed unrelated fish taking over nest guarding after the original guardian was removed, suggesting selfless behavior rather than kinship or reciprocity. He notes laboratory tests and field dives support the finding, though he cautions that a definitive conclusion requires more study.
