Are we hardwired to band together into tribes?

One of the reasons human beings as a species survived for so long & travelled a long journey of discoveries; grew & developed is human beings chose to band together into tribes. Like other instincts, tribal instinct is also not unique to humans, this is an inborn instinct in animals, birds, insects & even bacteria. From the strongest predators to ants & bees all organize themselves in the form of groups for the sake of survival i.e. survival in terms of food security, survival in terms of prevention & defense against predators and rival tribes etc. For instance, an individual predator or the fastest prey is never able to defend against an organized & coordinated attack from a group of less capable individuals.

Tribalism We have a strong desire to be accepted by a group — we want to be part of a social circle. It’s an ancient instinct that diverted us towards the ‘us vs them’ mindset. We instinctively polarize ourselves in support of our group and against others that compete with us in some way. This polarization is what we call tribalism.
