For example, humans and other animals often act counter to their own interests to help others.
Is there an evolutionary explanation of this?

Evolution of mutation rate - The Point of No Return, Evolution of Excess Mutation Rate is Possible Even
for Simple Mutation Models. This is published in
MDPI, and an interactive Matlab live script is available at my
Github. There is a followup
paper on the Exploration-Exploitation issue, whether to exploit
the best known option of explore for a better one.
