    While an extremely useful advantage for the warriors of the hive to have, the toxin kills the ants in the process. So even though the hive remains protected, the ant lost his life in the effort to protect his family, but this was his main job in his life much like Private Anderson. Though they were required to make the ultimate sacrifice, the ant served his ultimate purpose and Private Anderson was able to protect those whom he considered family and helped them complete their mission, enforcing the key principles of kin and animal altruism. These key premises are oriented toward the idea that we are more likely to act altruistically towards people we can relate to and the progression of their species no matter the consequences to oneself. These are important to remember in the animal kingdom and an human family-like relationship because though heroic, they could not describe true altruism.…
