Dunbar first came up with the number by observing primates grooming.
In the early 1990s, a British anthropologist named Robin Dunbar argued that humans can’t handle more than 150 stable relationships based on the size of the human brain’s neocortex and observations of other primate groups socializing. Now, a team of researchers in Sweden say that number is bunk.
The team argues that Dunbar’s number—really a set of numbers that define different circles of intimacy and their sizes, with the 150 number for casual friends being the most cited—is not a reasonable way of decrypting human sociality. Their study is published today in the journal Biology Letters.
