When rats live too closely together, they start fighting amongst themselves and eating their own young. I see a connection between that and people who live in overcrowded areas, especially like inner cities. However, as a species, ethnic lines are becoming more and more blurred as people search for other 'differences' to hate each other over (theology is a big one).
It is trendy to push everyone getting along, when that is the PC thing to think/say/promote when most probably feel exactly the opposite.
I do not know if we will ever be able to bring our species 'together' in mutual respect and understanding... it's unlikely when there will always be those who are primarily self serving and will go to any lengths to get more and more leaving others with less and less. As our means to protect ourselves become more deadly to larger numbers of people, the need for us to strive to come together becomes more important. Either we will in some way, or we may eventually destroy ourselves. It's anyone's guess.
