Mila you feature one of the primary ways our evolution evolves at glacial pace — the parasitic nature of tribalism. We nurture illusions of comfort and continuity by wrapping ourselves in a warp of familiarity (tribes) and a weft of homogenetic experiences.

At what point does one’s place of birth matter other than creating a tribe?
