AND SHOULD BE AGAIN!

What happened to that lovely little thread about whether relatedness
explained ant and bee social behavior and whether human evolution suggested
that human beings only were altruistic toward strangers when they were
confused.  

GET YOUR OWN DARN THREAD, GUYS!

Yea,... I guess I wasn't following that thread.  I think I branched from
it, but sorry if interrupting somehthing.   Most natural system models
of altruism, of course, are necessarily missing the self-conscious
aspect that we human folks consider to be the main issue in that.   Do
you know any way to get people to think about non-self-conscious
altruism?  I think that's a tough one.
