Succeeding in the survival of the fittest were genes for:

- Hierarchy: ( Enables Turf war; Homo vs. Homo; Personal and Group Survival.)
- Cooperation and Conventionalism: (Herding instinct Within genus Enables Survival by sheer numbers.)
- Altruism and Nurturing: (Extends Parenting Umbrella; Improves Individual & Group Survival Thereby.)
- Parenting: (Enables All Others, for Better or Worse.) See Freud And Peace and Five Pillars for codification and discussion.
