Altruism is defined as selfless concern for the well-being of others and sits within an evolutionary ontology that branches into Effective Altruism, Reciprocal Altruism, and Kin Selection. This positioning frames altruism not as pure moral idealism but as a behavior shaped by natural selection. The downstream branches suggest that helping others is a strategic adaptation, not merely a virtue.
