Herd dynamics

Herd dynamics refer to how groups of animals or people behave collectively, often moving or acting in a coordinated way. In nature, animals like herds of deer or flocks of birds stay together for safety, following the group's movement to avoid predators. Similarly, humans often follow the crowd because it feels safer or more familiar, influencing decisions like shopping or investing. These behaviors are driven by social instincts, a desire for safety, or perceived wisdom of the majority. Understanding herd dynamics helps explain collective behavior patterns in both animals and humans, highlighting how individual actions are influenced by group norms and cues.
