I think humans are greedy and authoritarian in nature. We like to dominate and control others if it ensures our survival and happiness. We make laws (like laws which prohibit poor people to immigrate to the united states) which secure only our own individual survival and which serve and further only our own selfish desires and interests without care and concern to the well-being and freedom of other humans. We have also embraced social darwinism - the belief that life should be a cruel struggle for survival and that only the strong and fit survive and succeed.

There are also too many "followers" in this world, way too many. They yearn to be lead; they become giddy when in the presence of their chosen leader they swallow his every word, and feel lost without him. This apparently is also hard-wired into a large portion of the human race. It's not an easy life for those few inclined neither to lead nor to follow.

And expecting that evolution will someday change this is a rather hopeless hope: evolution has no goal other than survival.
