Quotes:

“The encoding of the Tribe Drive in our DNA”

As we explore the natural history of tribalism, we will see that some three hundred thousand years ago humans chanced upon a revolutionary adaptation that led to the encoding of the Tribe Drive in our DNA. This was the evolution of nested groups, each with their own particular symbols – and enshrined shared myths and values – that bound participants together in trusting relationships.

David R. Samson, 2023 from the book Our Tribal Future: How to Channel our Foundational Human Instincts Into a Force for Good
