The genetic explanation might be hampered by a genetic xenophobia. I don’t think so; I think that there is genetic xenophobia because we could not trust the other tribes to behave “ethically” – that is with the same value set as the group in question. I believe that (some) religions were meant to increase the concept of the “group” so that the group would become larger and larger: inclusion rather than exclusion. In my mind, this is also the concept of an expanding civilization that then includes the idea of “Western Europe” and then a set of “United Nations.”" If there is a genetic explanation and or a genetic xenophobia then it/they preclude any value sets. A genetic aspect is dependant on one parameter, the DNA imperative or how the species survives.
