have you considered that natural selection is occuring, but of ideas - memes - not genes.
citizenship and charity are memes that have proven themselves to be very successful at surviving and reproducing.
by contrast other memes - for example those relating to worshipping the sun - have been unsuccesful and died out.
the strongest ideas survive and pure selfishness, which you seem to propose, has proven itself to be quite weak. i suggest we let it die out.
