David Berreby's book on the Science of Identity: Democrat and Republican. Meat Eaters and Vegetarians. Black and White. As human beings we sort ourselves into groups or foundations. And once we identify ourselves as a member of a particular group-say, Red Sox fans-we tend to feel more comfortable with others of our own kind, rather than, say, Yankees fans. Yet we all belong to multiple groups at the same time-one might be a woman, a mother, an American, a violinist. How do we decide which identities matter and why they matter so much? And what makes us willing to die for, or to kill for, a religion, a nation, or a race?

From studies of baboon clans, this steroid level-

(a) is generally low in high ranking males and high in low ranking males. They are high for high-ranking males when the societal hierarchy is under threat.
(b) is high when the personal threat is unpredictable and arbitrary.
(c) is higher when a baboon is unable to distinguish a real threat from a non-threat.
(d) is lower where baboons have a social outlet for anger.
