As far as unconditonal love among humans... I don't think our species is capable of it as most relationships among humans are simply transactional in nature.

For example in romantic relationships... we invest love, care and time in another person in hopes that they will love us, care for us, have sex with us, be our friend, etc, etc.

In these transactional relationships... when we don't feel that we are getting a good return on our investment.... in other words.. the person is not reciprocating love, sex, friendship, caring, time, etc... at a level that is to our satisfaction.. we become unhappy with the relationship.

Anywho... IMHO... the only human relationships that are not transactional are probably parent/child and possibly relationships among siblings. These relationships are about the closest humans get to unconditional love/caring but even these have their limits.

Dogs and cats do not have limits to their love... lol. They just love ya no matter what.

Just my $0.02.
((((Peppermint_Patty))))))))))))))))))))))))) I have to say with friends parterners there can be unconditalional love.
I have a friend who has a daughter who was parellized years ago from the neck down. Shes a amazing girl ..amazing she lived. She a few years ago marryed. There is no amking love in thier life. They love each other as they are unconditionaly. True love......
Another friend years and years ago, Her husband had a heart attack, That part of thier life was gone forever. His heart was to weak. They loved each other till he left this earth.
I think some ppl are capable of loveing others for who they are with wanting nothing in return.
Ppl are amazing .......tc care of you kind one always
Thanks for this!
