Not surprised by the top left quadrant. It's kinda basic human "clannishness". Mutual support for those "like us", disadvantage or ideally remove those "not like us".I don't think you could wait it out or breed it out. I think it's a feature of any group living social animal, and it's pretty easy to think how it's advantageous. As long as it's not LESS effective as a strategy as the broader altruism of inclusive leftiness, then it's not going to ever die out as an attitude.
