The existence of mutual aid behaviours doesn't mean much, in any animals but particularly human beings in the context of anarchism. Humans can cooperate when it's beneficial and also stab each other in the back and step on one another when it's beneficial. The behaviours aren't mutually exclusive. Anarchists should expect negative behaviour along with mutual aid.

You came to the anarchist instance to tell people that mutual aid isn't believable?

Good on you for causally announcing that you're a monster who won't help others, I guess.

No that's not anything like what I said.
