I have no clue. But throughout history we've been like this...I personally think it's our personal inadaquacies. The more we feel inadaquate the more we need to feel better about ourselves. No one says "hey, I belong to the homeless gang under the bridge" and be proud of it, but they will say "I belong to the country club" and be proud of it. It our way of making ourselves better than others. This is likely the same response when it comes to competition. We need to be better than the Tom, Dick, or Harry around us. Not everyone has a massive compulsion for this, but we have this inate feeling inside all of us.
So anyway, that's my best guess...I think we are born with it.
