    Without shared/common resources and limited ebvironments there would be no incentive for cooperation. It is precisely this economic "tragedy" that provided the evolutionary pressure for the instinct of sharing, friendship, empathy, and compassion. Those who were warlike would die fighting for resources. The survivors would be the ones tuned, memetically, for diplomacy, structure, etc.
