Costs and benefits of metaphysics

Curious to know more about how the evolutionary biology argument for not killing other humans can be "proven wrong" and / or where it "encounters shaky ground".

Gene preservation dynamics (as in Selfish Gene Theory) clearly favour animals that avoid killing other members of their own species and this pattern extends even to genetically similar species. In other words, the more genes you share with someone else, the less you will want to kill or hurt them.
