Is altruism the highest quality of humanity or an overrated virtue that runs counter to biological imperatives?

to vastly oversimplify, it seems as if the poles of the western world are

Fox Americana - for people who believe our priority is to protect ourselves

and

Pax Britanica/& the other 6 Gs - for people who beleive the priority is to help others less fortunate...
