DMA, I should not say defect. Africans are optimised for a tribal society with a chief through many years of optimization for that type of role. Village chief and his wives and those that are the thralls to the chief.
European society passed through that stage many years before the African societies.

I expect there might be a genetic reason as well, same as dogs are pack animals and cats walk alone, it may be that Africans are optimised for the society they are in. African tribal society is very competitive towards other tribes since the other tribes eat the resources that their kids need....thus wars or what they call faction fights. In the old days this was the stuff of survival and they had to feed their kids. I bet the Germanic tribes were like that in Roman times.
As time went by there emerged groups of genetically similar people in an area that were begat from the best warrior tribes...and thus man more villages of that genotype were built in an association, same as the germanic tribes or any other hunt/gather tribe.
Farming made a difference and would support a higher population, thus more warriors....more wars won...more area occupied.

You should read about it. It is not a defect, it is a strength for the times when they hunted/gathered. A bit out of place now, we have just had more time to tame these genes.
