It is still a hard-wired homo sapiens reaction to feel somehow threatened by people who look and act differently than what we are used to. But that is what education and culture are supposed to help overcome, not reinforce.

‘Hard wired’ is not a term with any basis in biology. ‘Education and culture’ are a less physical way (than say, militarism) to control a population. Prevailing theories are prevailing theories, sometimes more, but not always.
