It’s why homo saipans are the dominant species. They formed groups and enslaved Neanderthals. Not proven, just a theory some scientists have. But it clearly is part of human nature to stand on top of others.
well yeah, they raped thier slaves for sure. Thus the dna. But if you notice throughout history humans cooperate well only when it is to beat another group down. So the nature is to form exclusive groups and then supress other groups.
You call it ‘being in our nature’ but that is just behavior that may have been necessary millions of years ago for survival. We are so far past the point of struggling for survival, all of humanity could be living an average middle class life if wealth was distributed appropriately.

There’s competing theories that we just bred with Neanderthals and we’re the result. Explains a lot of our DNA.
I think you’re on much thinner ice saying that it’s a part of our nature to stand over others.
If anything, cooperation is our most natural inclination.

Sure, cooperation with the others in the tribe. Not global cooperation.
Is humanity as a whole not your tribe? On what basis do you decide who is in your tribe?
humans seem to favor exclusiveness, so as long as your tribe is better than another tribe, all good. But the global tribe has no one to exclude.
fuck those aliens

Totally agree. But it will take a really longbtime to evolve sadly.
