i will only comment on the last few posts in this thread if i'm requested to.
some puzzles we all have to solve on our own (some other wise dude long ago said that)
ok, puzzling about such things is more fun with a few tips/pointers/clues given..
so ok then.. think 'which social circles are', not 'which genome is' [responsible [for what]].
tip 2 : think 'social circles form a sub-culture living in some large/small region or set(s) of locations in the real world and/or a virtual world using communication tools'..
tip 3 would then be 'who cares about what an evil / good / neutral group (sub-culture) is made up of? can't an alien work together with a group of humans, or vice-versa..? yes they can and probably do today and for the foreseeable future and all of the recorded histories'
tip 4 : a human tribe is closely related in their ethnicity, their living location, and (often) their religion as well.
tip 5 : the warriors of a tribe (for instance) have friends with whom they socialize outside their own tribe's sub-culture (ethnicity and often what religion they practice too), and the farmers of the same tribe will primarily interact (talk with) other farmers of the same tribe.
(i admit this is a very simplified view, but that's what you need in a list of tips like this one, i think we can all agree on that, given that there are quite a few people on defence.pk/forums who are not fluent in the English language)
i refuse to use number 6 in a list like this one..
tip 7 : the Bible and Quran each have many different 'translations', resulting in tribes and and provinces/regions and countries that worship God in different ways.

in Christian mythology, Demons (evil), Spirits (neutral) and Angels (good) are described as the same genome-type of supernatural beings.
i personally call them 'invisible beings' meaning : 'invisible to the 2 eyes that each human is born with' (i'm excluding psychics with years of training to see things like the aura energy field that each human radiates out to about a meter (3 feet) or so)..
and UFO creatures are called 'space aliens',
while 'aliens' could mean either 'space aliens' or 'human foreigners' (as seen by the population of a country that the human foreigner was not raised in and has no government permit to permanently live and/or work in that country)
and 'illegal aliens' means human foreigners working in a country without a permit to live and/or work in that country where they are called 'illegal aliens'.
While my heart agrees with you, my mind and experience in stopping war-mongerers says 'demonizing your opponents by calling your opponents aliens, is one of the hardest ways to actually stop your enemy'.
The Americans under Republican leadership during 2006-2007 had demonized the Iranian leaderships to the point of me pointing out how the Iraqi's had suffered by American propagandists demonizing Saddam Hussein to legitimize (get international support for) overthrowing Saddam's entire government..
My soul is that of a gardener and herder of animals
Someone else is going to have to be our Jean-Luc Picard, our Janeway, and our Ender (see movie "Ender's game")...
I'm truly a stay-on-the-home-planet kinda soul
An excellent sci-fi (science-fiction) novel (book) series on this subject is "Foundation" by mr Isaac Asimov
