Does mankind need community?

Question

Does mankind need community?

Answer 1

It is essential for the survival of the species.  People are physically weak from the moment they are born and rely on others to live day to day.  Babies of most species are fairly capable of being self-sufficient only moments after birth.  Human infants have large heads, weak necks, and are essentially helpless for the first few years of life.  This basic need to have another take care of you from day one defines us as a species.  We are programmed to be able to form familial bonds so that babies are cared for and the species can propigate.  Of course, it's not impossible to lead a solitary existance but is biologically unsound.
