Question

Do humans thrive best in a group or as individuals?

Answer 1

It depends on the person.  I am definitely an individual and don't follow the flock.  However, without the structures laid down in society I would be struggling to exist independently.

Answer 2

Is this a serious question?

Humans as individuals are less-suited to life than any other primate. Devoid of a group structure, you're entirely on your own - how would you like to find every piece of food you wanted to eat?

Good luck finding the time to make a car... And roads... And everything else.

Answer 3

Groups! You are born into a group! Take a sociology class, you would be amazed to learn about your groups and how they can help you!

Answer 4

Too many cooks spoil the broth. However, many hands make light work. Horses for courses. Some people work better alone, some in small groups and some in teams. Also, some jobs are better done by one alone and other jobs more suited to groups.

Answer 5

You need help, so I would go as a group. IQ has only one

thing to do with this, he might make  a good leader.

Answer 6

is this a serious question?  groups

Answer 7

it depends...the more creative ones generally perform better on their own, while the middle-level ones often gaggle together.

Answer 8

Both.

Answer 9

This is sort of eastern vs western thought.  Group seems to work best in very large populations but individual in smaller group settings.  Totally alone is not an option.  I suppose in a smaller group individuals are motivated to assume more a leadership responisibility but very large groups more people have to be able to follow. Seems backwards but you have to have more cooperation with more people.
