Sorry, but I have to laugh when you say "there is no human nature", from what I've read/discussed with others, it always seems to boil down to semantics. Would you argue that human beings are not creatures of instinct? Despite all the available information today, many still choose to act based on 'feelings' rather than cold logic.

Our nature/ways/desires/evolutionary path-- whatever you wish to call it, has always placed us as a tribal, clan-like species. Point is that people aren't going to make the change from being largely dependent to rugged individualists overnight, because humanity as a whole has been repeating the cycle of leaders/kings/governments for thousands of years. It has become our 'nature'.
