#7: Hardwired for Tribalism: How Genetics, Neurotransmitters and Hormones Shape "Us vs Them"

In this episode, we dive into the concept of tribalism and its impact on human behavior and society. We explore how people identify with groups, ranging from sports teams to nations, and the reasons behind these strong connections. We discuss the history of tribalism, its genetic foundations, and the chemical reactions in the brain that reinforce these bonds. We also touch on the positive and negative aspects of tribalism, including its role in creating camaraderie and conflict. By understanding the neurochemical basis of tribalism, we can become more aware of our own biases and work towards more inclusive interactions.
