This kind of innate behaviour is also quite useful, in fact it's far more often useful rather than not, especially in today's complex world. People just need to educate themselves about it in order to know how to counter this same kind of thing when it acts against them instead.
Insofar as intratribal relations, sure, it can be of use. But as Milgram showed, it can also be abused to override our own ethics. Therein lies the sadness, I feel.
