Can you explain this more because I really can't wrap my head around this concept of some kind of natural state of a homogenous group of humans.
Even if we were to simulate a preternatural perfectly uniform society of clones, wouldn't they need to have different ages, genders and vocations and wouldn't they as a consequence of living their lives arrive in a variety of economic and health circumstances? Wouldn't even this artificial society therefore find a benefit in having the capacity to value and include each other despite their differences?

Within these categories, there’s a range of tolerance levels from “I love my neighbors and would sacrifice my well being for theirs” to “I’m OK with my neighbors but don’t feel any sense of group attachment,” all the way down to mass riots and civil war.
