How did humans end up being really socializing animals? Other species are not as sociable?

Question

This could be evolution.

How did socializing and conversations become innate to humans?

Answer 1

Many other animals have social groups but Homo sapien sapien seems to an extreme, to have an ability to organize social groups.  Studies indicate sapien can organize social groups up to ~150 without much in the way of disagreement.  This would allow for large cooperative groups to exist (over 150 tends to create disagreement & strife).  Humans seem to be the only primate capable of such a high degree of cooperation, although a number of birds & insects are capable of this.

We suspect humans are the only animal capable of complicated syntaxial language, but whales, dolphins & even elephants may have this ability.

Answer 2

This is because we are created in God's image.

As such we have the capacity not just for socialising but for love.

We are quite unlike any other animal. This is something that evolution is unable to explain (otgher than to observe that it is true and cliam therefore it must have evolved somehow!)

Answer 3

On the contrary, many mammals are social and some fish, insects and other life forms tend to go about in groups.

My guess is than whenever you read that mankind is in some way special it might be wise to consider the completely overblown Ego of the average human and take human claims of greatness and uniqueness with several pounds of,,,salt!

Answer 4

Wolves and many other animals form social groups in order increase there success in hunting larger game,people too. You ever try to take down a Mammoth by yourself? Speech  developed in order to coordinate hunting and other activities for survival. I think also that as tool users we have built a magnificent technology that may take us to the stars (to enhance our survival,perhaps.) Our aggressive tendencies are what bring us down to the animal level.

Answer 5

Like the other posts said, we aren't the only animals that are social creatures. Being social came about because at a time when humans were not able to go to the grocery store and buy food, they needed each others help in acquiring it, as well as protection. Many animals today travel and hunt in groups, and animals like chimps display social behavior on a higher level, where they groom each other and seem to play games.

I think where a lot of the difference comes in is the face that human babies are comparatively the weakest and most helpless of all animal young. They need to be fed, groomed, and nurtured by the mother for a significantly longer period of time than other animal young do. In this way, human babies bond with their mothers and are raised in an environment of constant care and close interaction with another of its kind. When you depend on another person to help you survive, or you are in charge of another person's survival, you need to be able to communicate in some way. We grow up knowing these close interactions and then seek them as children and young adults through other family members, friends, and through romantic relationships with the opposite s*x.
