I hope that is not sarcasm, that literally is a display of evolution. I am not kidding. Our species ability to cooperate stems from prior evolution, primates and mammals cooperating. We stupidly see the video as merely being cute, but in a very real evolutionary context, THAT video is a literal demonstration of evolution.
We also see other species cooperation, ever see a long fish hovering around a shark? The fish cleans the shark and the shark evolved to accept the cleaning. Some birds and prey in Africa communicate and watch each other and warn of predators like lions.
Inner species cooperation is part of evolution. In a very real sense.
Not sarcasm, well it was sort of sarcastic since I don't need to see a cat protecting a kid from a dog in order to realize how social species behave.
