    An animal that doesn't care about the survival of others of its species is at an evolutionary disadvantage and is selected against.

I'm just spitballing here, but maybe - since many (most?) humans aren't all that concerned about the safety of our species (at least in our day-to-day lives) - people are more concerned about passing on their own genes, rather than the simple survival of human genes?
