Leslie Stahl on "60 Minutes" takes you to visit the 'clannish' 3 month old babies at "Baby Lab" where their behavior exists long before they can speak. I like helpful puppets and puppets that like what the baby likes. Babies dislike puppets which like things baby doesn't like. Worse still baby likes puppets that are mean to puppets who like what baby doesn't like. Handsome people are good people for babies and unattractive people are bad. Older little girls like dolls that look just like them and dislike dolls which look different. Projecting these feelings onto people who look different or ugly, or beautiful are distressingly hard-wired into human brains, but it's something we know. Expanding the repertoire of foods baby likes beyond milk is "traveling to a foreign country" for each new food whether carrots or peaches - each one baby decides is a good food or a bad yucky food. If baby says peaches are bad and you like peaches, it creates dissonance. Baby has to weigh you attributes. You're handsome so you're good but you like peaches so you're bad. You're clearly less good than good looking people who hate peaches, but are you better than an ugly person who hates peaches? A very complicated situation. Why would a person baby likes also like yucky peaches? Can baby tolerate your peach enjoyment? Doesn't eating peaches make you a bad, stupid, yucky person? Broadening horizons and tolerance of differences is a sophisticated learning experience. Hatred of difference is automatic and doesn't require thought and emotional processing. Racism is a higher level more sophisticated level of infantile baby behavior, but it's exactly the same in-wired instinct. It must have provided an evolutionary advantage.
