Sharon, can you (or anyone) direct me to some references on optimum group
size studies? How did the Australians determine that 500 was optimum? This
is the largest number I've come across, 150 being the lowest. Have there
been any anthropological studies focused on comparative group size in
self-sufficient cultures unaffected by "advanced" outside cultures?
Thanks for any help. WT----- Original Message ----- From: "Sharon Villines" <sharon [at] sharonvillines.com>
