Reply to comment by Jhill520 in Researchers show that the same system in the brain that enables us to avoid danger is also activated during selfless, helping behaviour: “These results contradict the conventional wisdom that we need to suppress our own fear system in order to help others who are in danger” by giuliomagnifico

It is likely such behavior was already present even before society. Humans naturally help, we even help other animals when it is not to our benefit. Other smart animals also help each other and sometimes even help other animals.
