Altruism is a behavior where a person or an animal sacrifices their interest over the others. While the passage states that animals and human do sacrifice their interest for helping out the other animal or person respectively but the lecturer disagrees with that by stating a research.
Over the passage, it says when a human donates foods to strangers or when a human donates their organ for a family member or even to a stranger, they get little reward in return for performing such an altruist act. Whereas the lecturer states otherwise, she states that when a human donates an organ to their family member or a stranger, donor gets appreciation from community and self-worth which in turn is more of a non-material reward for them. Similarly, when a person donates food to a stranger, they get praises which makes it a selfish act.
Passage says that a group of animals that is meerkats, in Africa is cited as an example for selfless act where a meerkat, an individual will act as a sentinel, standing guard and looking for predators while others hunt for food or while eating food the group has obtained. When a predator approaches, for example, a hawk, the guard alerts other meerkats and they run for their life while the other acts as a distraction and tries to flee alone. But, in lecture, the lecturer says that meerkat does exactly opposite of what is expected. The guard eats the gathered food first and then stands for guard next to a burrow. While standing guard, if a predator approaches, it gives an alarm cry which could either used to bring together a group or separate them, the guard meerkat could use it to save himself. Not only it could misuse the alarm but it would also shirk the predator by directly escaping through the burrow which in turn could risk lives of the other meerkats.
