Theres some tendency towards tribalism that is probably a human thing though right? Wasn't that the main social unit for humans through prehistory?
Social units existing in the first place requires some level of empathy. Tribalism is just selective empathy, not the absence of it.
Yes. Humans definitely aren't altruistic or empathetic, as a whole.
That's because we're just animals. I would say it this way: humans are not instinctually altruistic but are capable of being rational.
Which isn't any better and may actually be worse: we can be rational, but we can also rationalize our instincts.
