Eh. His interpretation of human nature is incorrect.
Humans are tribal, just like our Chimp relatives. We form very close bonds with family and tribe.
However, there is a ton of competition within the tribe for social status. And massive competition with other tribes, even if in the humans case, trade is possible. Trade enables individuals and tribes as a whole to compete more effectively.
Cooperation is only inherent with direct family. Outside of that, it's a means of competition.
That is human and ape behavior.
Not sure why you're being down voted, as I find it an interesting point to make, even if I agree with George's conclusion that the balance between competition and cooperation within our species is way out of wack.
