Humans show green-beard effects. Crucially, we differ as to what counts as a green-beard trait. Define it narrowly, and we call it parochialism. Include enmity toward those without that green-beard trait and it’s xenophobia. Define the green-beard trait as being a member of your species, and you’ve described a deep sense of humanity.
