Our ancestors generally divided the world into "those like us" and "those unlike us". Killing "those unlike us" and taking their stuff was perfectly fine and even encouraged.
The boundary between "those like us" and "those unlike us" historically varied and has been drawn on the basis of family, tribe, state, religion, race, etc. etc.
