The product of literally 1000 generations worth of human cooperation, asking if humans will ever transcend tribalism on what is arguably humanity's most collaborative innovation?

    Depends how we define 'overcome' really. I mean, if cooperation is evidence of overcoming it then the question doesn't need to be asked.

    If we're talking about our biological instinct for tribalism, well that's why we're having the conversation isn't it.
