In this seminal work, renowned anthropologist Robin Dunbar explores the fascinating concept of 'Dunbar's Number,' proposing a cognitive limit to the number of stable social relationships an individual can maintain—approximately 150. Drawing on extensive research in evolutionary psychology, primatology, and anthropology, Dunbar delves into the origins and implications of this number, examining how it shapes human societies, from ancient hunter-gatherer bands to modern online communities. The book offers profound insights into the nature of friendship, the dynamics of social networks, and the evolutionary pressures that have sculpted our capacity for connection, challenging readers to reconsider the true meaning of social interaction in an increasingly interconnected world.
