Vast human behavior complexity can be constructed by very small variations in androgenic production. Races, tribes, and civilizations, exist as a behavioral demonstrations of reproductive strategies, using various formal and informal institutions to manage cooperate between groups with different androgenic, and therefore behavioral differences.
As I have written profusely, variations in Median IQ, Language vs Spatial IQ, impulsivity, aggression, and disgust can produce completely different societies. And conversely, not all peoples are capable of (or in need of) similar institutional models.
From what I can gather, the normative means of breaking familial bonds and extending kinship trust to non-kin (what we call religion) is far more important than we had assumed. However, this does not eliminate the problems of immorality, impulsivity, aggression, general intelligence, and verbal intelligence, demonstrated in the curve of abilities regardless of the race, tribe, or culture.
So the intensity of enforcement of norms and institutions is directly proportional to the degree of impulsivity, aggression, general intelligence, and verbal intelligence.
I suspect that while improving human genome so that it is longer lived, is far harder than improving the human genome so that it produces greater neurogenesis, more white matter, less impulsivity and aggression.
But the point remains that one must be impulsive, aggressive, intelligent enough to keep out the more impulsive, aggressive, and less intelligent.
