These points, though good, are rather common ideas on evolutoin, and

My point is something a little different. Species survive no
individuals.

Actually, it is not a "species" that survives, but particular
genes. If an individual thrives, his genes are passed on and
survive. If he does not, they do not. Evolution takes place on the
level of individuals, not species.

A human needs is a unique animal that needs
the presence of other in order to survive, and they need the species
to produce sexual partners.

This is not "unique", this is the case with most of the creatures on
the planet.

I remind you that the greatest alturism is felt for a lover, who likely
will be very distant genetically.

Actually, the greatest protection we extend is generally towards our
own children, and for obvious reasons. Protection we extend towards
mates does, of course, make evolutionary sense given that we need
their assistance to raise those children.
