no, I studied it and there just isn't much to prove it happens.

It would seem that when ever someone helps someone else, they do it to make them feel better or as a kind of karma thing, as a result of a past favor or in anticipation of a future one.

True altruism, gaining nothing, expecting nothing, and accepting some cost as a result of helping someone, doesn't seem to exist.
