Another group would seek to be at the top of the pyramid. Human beings are hardwired through the hormone oxytocin to feel togetherness in their in group or people, but also see outsiders as suspicious. Since most humans are not aware of this, they will just go by the hormonal feelings they have and the battle for control will continue.
Oxytocin is a hormone that plays a large role in social interactions and social bonding.

"It is sometimes known as the "cuddle hormone" or the "love hormone," because it is released when people snuggle up or bond socially, according to
Texas Medical Center. Even playing with your
dog can cause an oxytocin surge, according to research published in 2017 in the journal
Frontiers in Psychology. But these monikers may be misleading.
According to the
American Psychological Association, oxytocin can also intensify
memories of bonding gone bad, such as in cases where men have poor relationships with their mothers.
It can also make people less accepting of people they see as outsiders. In other words, whether oxytocin makes you feel cuddly or suspicious of others depends on the environment."
