Abstract
This paper deals with the functioning of tribalism in modern conditions. We deal with this
topic from the perspective of evolutionary psychology. It's main assumption is that the human
mind, through evolution, has developed certain psychological mechanisms adapted to solve
specific evolutionary problems. Each psychological mechanism is susceptible to certain
stimuli from the environment that trigger it and we therefore call them triggers. These triggers,
in some respects, resemble the signs of the situation that represented the evolutionary problem
that the mechanism itself evolved. In the case of tribalism these triggers are threats to our
group. In addition to triggers, this paper investigates bias and group identification as essential
factors of the overall mechanism. In the end, there are several examples of the functioning of
tribalism in modern conditions.
