Yet states/empires are typically both. Either: 1. conglomerations of different ethnicities, ruled by more ethnically homogenous dynasty/ruling elite (e.g. Persia) 2. an heterogenous elite that rules a more ethnically homogenous majority (e.g. post-Pharaonic Egypt).

Multi-level cultural group selection as the basis of the evolution of cooperation. States wouldn't have evolved if people of different ethnicities didn't cooperate. So any finding that ethnocentrism is 'dominant' has to be wrong. They are all around us.
