 Co-evolution of neocortex size, group size and language in humans
Whereas bird flocks can shed individuals through trickle migration as soon as they exceed their optimal size, primate groups cannot: they have to wait until the group is large enough to permit it to fission into two or more daughter groups of a minimum size necessary to ensure the safety and survival of their members.
Dunbar and Duncan (submitted) censussed conversational cliques that formed freely within interacting groups that varied in size from 2-10 individuals.
It is worth noting that this much has been achieved without the need to increase neocortex size: indeed, the gelada have a rather small neocortex compared to their baboon cousins (genus Papio) which probably explains the lack of cohesiveness in their larger-scale groups compared to those of the baboons.
