Changes in self-understanding of human nature can change the collective behaviors of humans.
For most people, does a new understanding of human nature actually change our behaviors? E.g. We came to understand that evolution made us care more about our own children than our neighbors'. Will that understanding change our behavior? What if we come to understand that evolution made us prone to hate people from outside groups? What does history tell us about this?

The understanding of intergroup aggression as an evolutionary mismatch just like preference over sugar and fat might change intergroup aggression.
