This article presents a strong counterargument to the genetic similarity theory by highlighting evidence that babies exhibit a preference for faces from their own social groups, regardless of race. We explore the minimal group paradigm, demonstrating that humans are naturally inclined to form groups based on meaningful preferences. The formation of in-groups is learned rather than predetermined by arbitrary criteria, underscoring the complexity of social affiliations. This insight reveals the importance of social learning in human interaction and the construction of identity.
