>The other 'isms' have grown over the millennia>

The other isms are just the extension or magnification of tribalism, even if this tribalism may not be based on DNA but on a belief structure. What survives or propagates longer and further anyway - the belief structure or DNA?

>over a billion people in China and India - that's not a tribe>

At least in India, the billion are split into innumerable tribes/communities and that is how they see themselves too.

Even in the USA, they divide themselves psychologically into tribes - asians, black, irish, italian, and all the variations, in spite of a great degree of integration.
