At what point of history have humans not been tribal?
- rootusrootus 4y agoYes, there has always been some tribalism. But I am old enough to recall when the fact that you were Democrat or Republican was a secondary bit of information, not the deciding factor in who your friends and family were.
- shepherdjerred 4y agoI really don't see how you can use the word "some" here -- tribalism is ingrained at us. See: Racism, the Halocaust (prejudice against Jews), Nationalism, any set of kids on a playground.
- rob74 4y agoHe was probably only referring to the situation in the US, where the political polarization (and tribalism) has undeniably increased in the last decades.
