I don't agree that conflict is inherent. And the reason is that the concepts of what constitute the group or groups with which people identify no longer conform to any geographical or cultural boundaries. In order for any inherent drive to seek out those in one's own group and experience conflict with those in other groups to predominate, it is necessary to have easily defined groups with specific boundaries or attributes. But that is no longer the case for a lot of people, especially younger people. Primary social groups are no longer defined by race, ethnicity, or geography, or even nationality, and now can just as easily be defined by interests, schools, favorite internet fora, or other categories, many of which may overlap, while others don't, and may include people from all over the world rather than just people in one's own vicinity, and are not conducive to creating conflict that serves any inherent drive to propagate a specific gene pool.

This is a new social paradigm, and the old ways of describing and defining these kinds of things longer apply.
