Dunbar's theory, also known as Dunbar's Number, suggests that the size of the neocortex, the part of the brain responsible for social cognition, limits the number of social relationships humans can maintain. The neocortex size, on average, can support relationships with up to 150 individuals. Therefore, humans function best in groups of 150 members or less because of the limited capacity of their brains.
