1.) Every hunter gatherer tribe ever. Virtually no hunter gatherer tribes practiced mate guarding (99.9%) . Scaroumouche commented earlier that even his Celtic tribes practiced polyamory until the Romans invaded them.1) Which specific tribes are you referring to? I don't think that you can generalize the experience of a few isolated, backward tribes and assume this is how all human societies functioned before the advent of civilization. For example, there are tribes that practice cannibalism. But it would be a stretch to suggest that cannibalism was, at any time, common human behaviour. By the same token, just because some group of weirdos on an isolated island like to share their women does not mean that this behaviour was previously widespread. There are reasons why those tribes are still struck in the stone age and this may be one of them...
2) Soldiers do what they do due to extreme mental conditioning. The main purpose of military training is break you down as an individual and turn you into a machine that would obey orders, and, if necessary, sacrifice itself without question. This type of self-sacrifice is most definitely not natural.
3) If cooperation was a natural human state, you would not be seeing breakdown of social order in the wake on natural disasters, wars, and other calamities. When civilizations fail, cooperation goes out the window and it's everyone for himself. Thus, cooperation is a product of civilization.
2.) Soldiers don't sacrifice themselves for their buddies because the military told them to. They do it because next to them is a person they formed a bond with. We can use other examples of altruism that destroy Dawkins model of the selfish gene. People routinely risk their lives for strangers. If you knew a baby was in a burning building I'm pretty sure you would atleast attempt to run inside to help. This makes no sense using Darwin's model. This is because his model was incomplete.
3.) So social order does not break down in the wake of disasters long term. Surprisingly people are very cooperative. What freaks them out is the media and the fact that they brainwash sheep into panic. Flint Michigan the people came together to help each other, hurricane Katrina you had random people going out with boats to help random people. So we do have a very strong cooperative trait which is often under celebrated. This is especially true if you have deep bonds with the people in your community.
So I agree that people can be selfish. But people can also be kind too. I would argue that our selfish instinct is developed when people live in crowded harsh environments like cities. If you go out in nature where everything is abundant then people tend to be incredibly kind. Tribal people were usually incredibly generous to the civilized invader forces.
People in poor nations are extremely generous. They have a sense of community.
Did you know that US air force pilots during WW2 were some of the first swingers. They were the first to do the key parties before it spread to the mainstream. They did it because it promoted allegiance and cohesion. They said that if one of them died in combat then the other guy would be likely to take care of the bastard child.
This is how humans came up. What I am describing is what we did for WAAAAYYY longer than the nonsense we are doing now.
