Dunbar Ivy

Dunbar Ivy is a reference to the Dunbar number, a concept proposed by anthropologist Robin Dunbar. It suggests that humans can comfortably maintain stable social relationships with about 150 people. This limit is thought to be connected to our brain size, particularly the neocortex, which influences our capacity for social bonding and communication. Essentially, Dunbar Ivy highlights a natural cognitive boundary on the size of meaningful social groups, affecting how we form, sustain, and prioritize relationships in our personal and professional lives.
