    Put a chimp and a gorilla in a cage and see what happens. This is true all the way down to black ants and red ants.

    Most species tend to stick together and tolerate other species. But when something happens, like food shortage or not enough space, they stop tolerating the other species in favor for their own.

    There are even social experiments when a group of humans are given 2 colors of tshirts and random tasks. The people with the same color shirt tend to group and work together for no appearant reason… Other than it is built in behavior.

    You can’t deny this even if you find it an unpleasant property.
