Malcolm Gladwell Quote

If you plug in the neocortex ratio for Homo sapiens, you get a group estimate of 147.8-or roughly 150. The figure 150 seems to represent the maximum number of individuals with whom we can have a genuinely social relationship, the kind of relationship that goes with knowing who they are and how they relate to us.
