Interesting, but the report mentions that chimpanzees didn't develop the same degree of altruism, while being presented with the same challenges - and still survived as a species.

Herd animals demonstrate the most developed use of 'unselfish' behaviour to ensure their survival - is this report suggesting we are closer to buffalo than baboons, in our social interactions??
