Co-operation and community are just as essential to our survival as selfishness. Tracey Mills studies some of the oldest microorganisms, he found that even the simplest creatures of this planet are capable of co-operation, he studied how different strains of marine bacteria defend themselves against predators, surprisingly the bacteria that makes the anti-biotics sacrificed themselves to protect others. Down at these level as well we see altruism, self-sacrifice for the good of the community. Theory of evolution holds this, we wouldn't have been born without altruism, so as universe.
