About this quote

This statement is attributed to Charles Darwin but does not correspond to any known passage in his published works or correspondence. It appears to be a modern paraphrase loosely based on Darwin's observations about cooperative behavior in social species, drawn from The Descent of Man (1871). Darwin did write about the survival advantages of group cooperation, but the specific phrasing here is not his.
