Us vs Them: The Tribal Brain (The Social Brain ep 22)

In this episode, we unravel how our brains evolved to foster an "us vs them" mentality, often leading to biases and conflicts in today's interconnected society. We dive into the neuroscience behind these behaviors, the role of hormones, and how different types of 'thems' emerge based on the stereotype content model. This discussion also presents strategies to override these unconscious categorization processes. Support The Social Brain on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thesocialbrain Prefer to listen?
