Darwinian sociobiology, in our time, provides for many a needed corrective to asocial individualism or creeping and often creepy libertarianism by reminding us, in effect, that we are hardwired to be parents and children and even friends and citizens.The basic libertarian position is to argue against forcing people to be social in certain ways with anyone else. This position has nothing against being social as long as it's freely chosen.
Far from being in conflict with libertarianism, Darwining sociobiology merely help explain our individual desires to be social.
Social cooperation is effective when everyone is a willing participant who understands they're getting some value. But whenever you force people to cooperate against their will, you introduce all the problems of socialism.
