Quotes:

“The Social Suite”

At the core of all societies, I will show, is the social suite:

  1. The capacity to have and recognize individual identity
  2. Love for partners and offspring
  3. Friendship
  4. Social networks
  5. Cooperation
  6. Preference for one’s own group (that is, “in-group bias”)
  7. Mild hierarchy (that is, relative egalitarianism)
  8. Social learning and teaching
