Are We Better at Social Networking With High Population Densities?
Tucker Max: I think in terms of the evolution of social intelligence, communication abilities, inhibiting like gut level responses. We do better now in those meetings than our ancestors probably would have done 50,000 years ago. A complicated multicultural society with high population density and status hierarchies that are kind of formalized. And where a guy might not attain his peak status now until maybe age 60. Whereas in prehistory it might have been yeah he attains peak status at 35. So there's probably a lot of intricate little changes like that about human psychology.
