It is crucial for the understanding of the diagram that I have created to understand the defenition of altuistic behavior and selfish behavior. The first one is when an individual will self sacrifice for the benefit of another individual, possible of the same family or of the same species. The former is when an individual will behave in a way designed to help him or her advance and survive, without caring for other individuals. The Selfish Gene explains that in species, the reproduction is restrained and animals do not reproduce as much as they possibly can, instead they control the births in a population. The question that was asked was wether or not this happened because of altruism or selfishness, and I have created a ven diagram with both points of view to help understand the arguments for both sides.
