the same reason many animal species socialize... because its a winning strategy for survival of the species. "Everyone for themself" is ultimately a losing proposition unless you sacrifice brainpower for other tools (teeth, claws, etc).

Humans have also nicked onto the strategy of socialization to retain information for longer than a few lifespans and more broadly distributed than one family.
