Sorry, I don't understand how evolutionary psychology applies to this situation.

Near as I can see, group-level evolution is not even logical.
Evolution takes place as changes in gene frequencies.

OK, you have a tribe of humans who have somehow accumulated a
favorable set of genes.  What do they do with them?  They trade them
away, exchanging women with the tribe down the valley.

Consider yourself rescued.

Make a note, group evolution makes *no* sense.

For some reason I don't understand, it's an attractive meme.
