I cannot argue that humans are social critters. We are however enormously selfish. This can lead the the heights of altruism and the chasms of depravity both. I agree that within a secular click that you belong you will be very likely to sacrifice personally for the betterment of what you see as "your people". I do not believe however that the same can be said for anyone outside of your social group. History has shown that its takes very few degrees of separation from one group to another or from one group to an individual for there to be dismissal and outright violence. I am sure that there may be a number of examples but I cannot think off of the top of my head a time when two groups of people have met and not fought with one another when resources as slim.

Ill wrap up to say that though human nature is to sacrifice for our own it is also to take from those we don't view as our own to better ensure our survival.
