I don't know why you need to go farther than humanity itself to clearly demonstrate the benefits of an altruistic survival model.

Modern human health care is predicated on individuals dedicating decades of their lives to education and research before dedicating decades more to the grueling physical labor of providing health care. And yet, our 8 billion person population size is wholely predicated on the massive bump in the human survival rate where professional medical services exist.
