You originally asserted the Darwinian explanation of altruism explains why some varieties of wasps or ants are altruistic and others aren't.

Those are your words and that's the statement I've been asking you to explain. And here finally is the explanation of how the Darwinian explanation of altruism explains why some varieties of wasps or ants are altruistic and others aren't:

I predict that when you start dividing wasp species into altruistic varietys as less altruistic ones you will find that the altruistic ones carry more genes in common than the other varieties.

LOL. The Darwinian explanation of altruism is based on your prediction about shared genes. That's definitely a firm foundation.
