altruism 

Paradigm that kindness to a genetically diametric entity will increase language robustness in one's own tribe.

This is because increased male inheritance in one's in-group's offspring leads to greater language-variability.

Thus: language variability selects pressure for male cooperation.
Altruism exists because genes loop; genes loop because language loops.

Thus genes are based on language...
