I emphasize the word "might" and emphasize the fact that altruism is a rather modern notion-interestingly based mainly in Christian thought-at least Western Altruism.
Think about the Romans- Who slaughtered animals in droves for fun.
The Romans- Who brutally treated many people.
The Greeks.
Ect.
The many nations who commited child-sacrifice.
The presence of torture, sadism, masachism, ect.
Altruism is not a notion that exists in all cultures, and wasn't derived by some process-specifically-the attempts to explain morals and beliefs by evolutionists is based on one thing:
Naturalist Atheists like Richard Dawkins want to have morals in spite of the logical extension of his own philosophies.
He wants the cake on a pedestal and to eat it too.
The logical extension of naturalism is that morality is relative and subjective.
There is no truth or good, there is no morality.
This logically dictates that such evils as Naziism is not wrong-as there is no wrong. There is no basis to be against racism, sexism, or any thing considered wrong becaues there is no wrong.
Rape, murder, ect. are all just natural expressions of animalistic tendencies.
Richard Dawkins and others can not stomach such a conclussion so they desperatly try and create an absolute morality of sorts without an absolute anchor-God. This is immpossible.

you'll find that although some of those people you mentioned did treat some people or animals badly, they treated people within their own social group well.
