OOPS! I read and it is BS.

Nope, still hear very well. Other parts not so well though. That is why I take pain meds.
I also have a morphine pump.

In response to the OP:

the in-group is a reflection of ethnicity and genetic similarity, or ethnicity developed as mirrors of the social-driven in-group?

I suspect a self-propagating cycle.


Now we're getting into evolutionary psychology and sociobiology

Also, how are you sure this has to do with sociobiological and not simply sociological factors?
