Sympathy is our greatest survival method

"We Are Sympathetic Species"
Interesting article about altruism and the evolutionary benefits it has bestowed on us. Could this explain our empathy for the people who don't even exist, i.e. our progeny, the proverbial people who will inherit the earth when we pass away? Could this be our reasoning why we seek sustainable solutions, macro-managing and foreseeing a future with limited resources?
