This is a well debunked belief. Genes are selfish, and they only reproduce to the benefit of the gene.
Group selection does not occur.
An example is evolutionary stable strategies, where cheaters persist in the population, even though the pool would be better off if all individuals in a pool were selfishly altruistic towards pool members.
