Evolutionary basis for alturism

In this four part documentary we are taken on a journey throughout the animal kingdom where example after example of love, cooperation and altruism are shown. That fact that we see altruism amongst various animals gives great support to evolutionary accounts of altruism. Kin selection seems to be the strongest argument for why altruism was such a successful strategy for passing on ones genes. Do you think the evidence in this documentary can lend support to other accounts? - Nafees Hamid A07974157
