Me against you. Us against them.
As humans, we form tribes or groups we belong to. And they can be divisive and lead to rejection, isolation, and violence to those on the “outside.”
But tribalism can also mean family, community, solidarity.
David Samson is an evolutionary anthropologist who studies our “tribe drive.” How does it work and what do we gain or lose from it? How can it explain heroic acts done for strangers? And can it be used for the good of the human race, rather than something that pits us against each other?
A fascinating and timely conversation on one of the most important aspects of human nature.
