The estimates I've read is that we peoples had a common ancestor with chimpanzees somewhere between 6 and 13 million years ago. God only knows what our ancestors were like 1 million years ago. Well actually not just God, we do have some evidence of pre-humans from about .5 million years ago, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm sorry, speculating that we homo sapiens have had 1,000,000+ years of practice in tribalism is not really a stretch. Plus, the arrival of Euros in North America 500+ years ago gave a view on how humans in a latitude similar to that of their European homeland evolved socially. Indigenous Americans south of approximately the Canadian border, aside from small amounts of Polynesian DNA in parts of SA, had virtually identical genetic roots. Inuit people had some infusion from later Siberian migrations. So Indigenous American tribalism really cannot be construed as having a racist component. But it was intense nonetheless. They annihilated each other with abandon at various points. And when the white man showed up the tribal distinctions were unmistakable. Similar in Africa - when Whites showed up in South Africa, there was no doubt who was in which tribe.
