alt Hacker News"but support people that have similar genetic traits to your own."
but how its that works then??? does that mean your genetic trait is already there in the first place
if its already there in the first place there must be something that start it now right, which basically counter your argument

Yes?

What?
If i support my brothers / sisters children, but have no children of my own, genetic data of mine survives into future generations, after all I share half my genetic data with my siblings.
If my helping these children gives them a competitive advantage in further reproduction, where the total reproductive strength of these well supported kids is greater than the total reproductive strength my family would have if I had my own children as well and split our resources, then this behaviour outcompetes simple reproduction, and if this behaviour is genetically encoded, becomes a dominant trait over time.
