"However" provides the contrast/shift in the two sentences.Since it is mentioned that the anthropologists and social scientists have consistently shown that xenophobia is a "learned" behavior.So, we must recognize in the first sentence that many people erroneously believe that humans are naturally "prone/disposed" to distrust or even fear those outside of their social or cultural group.
