We are not the evolutionary results of a long line of people smart enough to survive. We are the results of a long line of people who survived disease long enough to reproduce.
We are not the evolutionary result of independent thinkers and actors. We are the result of people who huddled together for protection and support, and who gladly went to the Town Square to watch the burning at the stake of the one smart person in town as a heretic.
Therefore, we should not be surprised when people who refuse to go along with the mob now are attacked. It's part of our true evolutionary heritage.
It's still annoying, though
