I'm curious what other implications this has evolutionarily speaking.

Are there any mechanisms by which sperm containing a high proportion of similar DNA will 'cooperate' (ie: altruism theories)
Could this behaviour be responsible for fraternal twins?
If this behaviour does indeed impart even a small advantage over individual sperm why isn't it the norm?
