Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

What I mean is, how do you know that the tribalism gene is gone? I'm pretty sure that if the people that "have no tribalism gene" grew up in an environment where tribalism was normal, they would have developed the traits just like everyone else.
It's very arrogant to assume someone who is not acting in a tribalistic way has in some way a different biological make-up, as if they were some kind of more advanced lifeform. It's very likely pretty much the same genetic code, just expressed differently through environmental factors.
Where tribalism is normal? That's literally everywhere. Do you have a favorite sports team? I don't. Do you have a religion that you think is right? Not me.
I'm a member of groups, of course, but I feel no urge that these groups are somehow better or more than others.
Now, is it genetic or learned? Who knows. I was just replying to the guy who said it was a gene. I guarantee no research shows that's a thing.
Yeah didn't really check who was replying :)
I do not mean that tribalism is not present in every environment, it was meant like for example selfishness. There's selfishness everywhere, but some people are more or less selfish, and that mostly depends on the total environment someone grew up in, how much selfishness was discouraged or encouraged, how much it lead to advantages or disadvantages. I assume that it's the same with tribalism.
