r/socialpsychology

hey everyone, i was reading up on robin dunbar's 150-person limit and how early humans basically replaced physical grooming with gossip to keep alliances together. it blew my mind that gossip was essentially a survival alarm to avoid getting exiled from the tribe. i actually spent the last few weeks animating a short visual deep dive into the psychology of this.

would love to know if you guys think i got the science right or if you have any other book recommendations on primate social structures!
