I think the "isms" are a very basic holdover from when we were evolving/separating from the different cousins we had oh so many moons ago. Us vs. them was as real as it gets when you talk about intelligent social beings with (probably) their own versions of culture and language etc. but a different physical makeup. Very real and to the death Just because we eventually exterminated all near cousins and took over their turf doesn't mean that the mechanisms which led to that extermination atrophied or ceased. They just became inverted and used to keep our individual sense of community strong by seeing outsiders as less than complete, more evil, and not worth allowing all the space we give our own.
