I wouldn't say it's a defective gene, but it is real, and it is a dangerous one. The natural sexual process of genetic diversification will produce individuals (and eventually communities) that prefer collectivism to independence. This is how alpha predators became pets.

I don't know about you, but I don't want to be a pet.
