The fallacy of the analogy between history and biology that underlie the thesis of a "clash of civilizations". Human groups, from small tribes to large civilizations are fundamentally different from animals, and historical conflicts it was nothing like the mechanisms of natural selection.

The analogy between history and biology that underpins the ‘clash of civilisations’ thesis is false. Human groups - all the way from small tribes to huge civilisations - are fundamentally different from animal species, and historical conflicts greatly differ from natural selection processes.
Human groups may have distinct social systems, but these are not genetically determined, and they seldom endure for more than a few centuries.
