Tribal PAST? When did we leave tribalism? Can't see much to indicate that.....

My question remains.... Can't see very much to indicate that we're not living in tribes.... Quite the opposite, I'd say.

We don't actually live in tribes, though. We live on one level in families and on another level as part of societies. We may act tribally, but we don't live tribally.

Um.... If we act tribally we live tribally. Can't see a real difference there. That "society" thing is quite, quite thin.

The way humans once lived is closer to the way chimpanzees now live. That's the kind of tribalism I'm talking about. We don't live like like that any more - we live alongside millions of other people in vast metropolises, nothing like a community of a hundred or so in a jungle.

True. But we still live in tribes because we have tribal brains. And many urban societies (ME) are even overtly tribal.

I don't think your meaning of the word "tribe" is the same as mine.

I recommend you read about the amity-enmity complex.

Tribe by Sebastian Junger is a good recent one.
