Humans Evolved to Need a Tribe

Humans survived not by being faster or stronger than prey but by banding into cooperating tribes, so just as bees evolved to need a hive, humans evolved to need a tribe; separation from the tribe historically meant danger and death, which is why isolation still triggers anxiety and depression, and we are the first humans to try to disband our tribes and live alone.
