Is this some biological instinct to ensure gene diversity?

[–] sga@lemmings.world 2 points 15 hours ago

it maybe, but i dont think so, most animals dont go out of their ways to breed with same species from far off, especially if the said species forms communities. I think the simpler logic is - boredom - the people you grow up watching everyday become the normal, and if someone new comes, you curiosity gets to it
