This number was first proposed in the 1990s by British anthropologist Robin Dunbar, who found a correlation between primate brain size and average social group size. （加了一句话By using the average human brain size and extrapolating from the results of primates, he proposed that humans can comfortably maintain 150 stable relationships.[4]。）Dunbar explained it informally as "the number of people you would not feel embarrassed about joining uninvited for a drink if you happened to bump into them in a bar". − 邓巴数Dunbar's number是一个建议的认知极限，即一个人可以与多少人保持稳定的社会关系，在这种关系中，这个人知道每个人是谁，以及每个人与其他人的关系如何。邓巴数最早是在20世纪90年代由英国人类学家罗宾·邓巴 Robin Dunbar 提出的，他发现了灵长类动物大脑体积与平均社群大小之间存在相关性。通过人类大脑的平均大小，并从灵长类动物的研究结果推断，他提出人类可以轻松地与150个人保持稳定的人际关系。邓巴通俗地将其解释为“如果你碰巧在酒吧遇见了那些不请自来要和你一起喝酒的人，你也不会感到尴尬的人数。”+ − Proponents assert that numbers larger than this generally require more restrictive rules, laws, and enforced norms to maintain a stable, [[group cohesiveness|cohesive]] [[social group|group]].

It has been proposed to lie between 100 and 250, with a commonly used value of 150. Dunbar's number states the number of people one knows and keeps social contact with, and it does not include the number of people known personally with a ceased social relationship, nor people just generally known with a lack of persistent social relationship, a number which might be much higher and likely depends on long-term memory size. − − 支持者声称，超过邓巴数的社会关系通常需要更严格的规则、法律和强制性的规范来维持一个稳定团结的群体。建议这一数值在100到250之间，通常使用的值为150。邓巴数表示的是一个人认识并保持社交联系的人数，它不包括认识但社会关系已经中断的人数，也不包括缺乏持续性社会关系的泛泛之交。因为如果将后两者也算进来，这个数字可能要高出很多，同时这也很可能取决于人长期记忆的跨度。 − − − − Dunbar theorised that "this limit is a direct function of relative [[neocortex]] size, and that this in turn limits group size [...] the limit imposed by neocortical processing capacity is simply on the number of individuals with whom a stable inter-personal relationship can be maintained".

In dispersed societies, individuals will meet less often and will thus be less familiar with each other, so group sizes should be smaller in consequence." Thus, the 150-member group would occur only because of absolute necessity—due to intense environmental and economic pressures. − − Dunbar has argued that 150 would be the mean group size only for communities with a very high incentive to remain together.

邓巴的理论认为，“这个极限是相对大脑新皮层大小的直接函数，而反过来它又限制了群体的规模。受大脑新皮层处理能力影响的极限仅针对能够与之保持稳定人际关系的个体数量。”展开来看，这个数字还包括曾经的同事，比如再次见面后会想要重新认识的高中时期的朋友。<ref>{{cite news |title=Sorry, You May Have Gone Over Your Limit Of Network Friends |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB119518271549595364?mod=googlenews_wsj |author=Carl Bialik |date=16 November 2007 |publisher=The Wall Street Journal Online |accessdate=2007-12-02}}</ref>
== 研究背景 ==
灵长类动物学家注意到，由于灵长类动物具有高度的社会性，它们必须通过社会化理毛来保持与社交团体中其他成员的个人联系。这些社交团体在灵长类动物生存的物理群体中起保护作用。灵长类动物可以追踪到的社交团体成员的数量，似乎受到新皮层体积的限制。这表明，社会群体的规模有一个特定于物种的指数，可以根据该物种的平均新皮层体积来计算。

邓巴随后将这一预测与可观察到的人类群体规模进行了比较。首先假设人类大脑新皮层的平均大小是在大约25万年前的更新世时期形成的，邓巴在人类学和人种学文献中搜索了各种狩猎采集社会的类似人口普查的群体规模信息，这是现存最接近人类学如何重建更新世社会的方式。邓巴指出，这些族群分为三类，即小型、中型和大型，相当于族群、文化宗族和部落，各自的规模分别为30-50人、100-200人和500-2500人。

邓巴对村庄和部落规模的调查似乎也接近于这个预测值，其中包括新石器时代农庄的估计规模150人；哈特教派信徒定居地的分裂点150人；学科亚专业学者的人数上限200人；古罗马和16世纪之后的现代专业部队的基本单位规模150人；以及一个恰当的公司人数规模。

邓巴认为，只有对那些有很高动机保持团结的社群来说，平均群体规模才会是150人。邓巴推测，为了使这种规模的团队保持凝聚力，他们用于社交梳理的时间要高达42％。相应地，只有生存压力很大的团体，例如勉强糊口的村庄，游牧部落和历史军事团体，平均才能达到150人的标准。此外，邓巴指出，这类群体几乎总是物理上接近：“[...]我们可能认为群体规模的上限取决于社会分散的程度。在分散的社会中，个人见面的频率会降低，彼此间因而变得生疏，因此群体规模也应该相应缩小。”因此，由150名成员组成的团体之所以会出现，是由于环境和经济的巨大压力造成的绝对必要性。

邓巴在《梳毛、八卦及语言的进化 Grooming, Gossip, and the Evolution of Language》一书中进一步提出，语言可能是作为社会化理毛的“廉价”替代方式而出现的，使得早期人类能够有效地保持社交凝聚力。邓巴推测，如果没有语言，人类将不得不花费近一半的时间用于社会化理毛，这将使富有成效的合作努力几乎成为不可能。语言可以使社会保持凝聚力，同时减少对身体和社会亲密关系的需求。<ref>{{cite book |last=Dunbar |first=Robin |authorlink=Robin Dunbar |title=Grooming, Gossip, and the Evolution of Language |year=1998 |publisher=Harvard University Press |isbn=978-0-674-36336-6 |url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780674363366 |url-access=registration }}</ref><ref>{{ citation | first1 = Robin | last1 = Dunbar | date = 2004 | journal = Review of General Psychology | number = 2 | pages = 100–110 | title = Gossip in Evolutionary Perspective | url = http://attach.matita.net/ziorufus/Dunbar%20gossip.pdf | accessdate = 2013-01-24 | volume = 8 | doi = 10.1037/1089-2680.8.2.100 | citeseerx = 10.1.1.530.9865 }}</ref>社会大脑假说的数学表述证实了这一结果，该理论表明，如果没有语言所允许的那种复杂交流，仅增加大脑的尺寸不可能导致大型群体的形成。<ref name=":DavidBarrett1">{{Cite journal|last = Dávid-Barrett|first = T.|last2 = Dunbar|first2 = R.

人类学家拉塞尔·伯纳德 H. Russell Bernard，彼得·基尔沃思 Peter Killworth及其同事在美国进行了各种田野调查，得出的社会平均关系数为290，约为邓巴估计值的两倍。由于分布向上倾斜，伯纳德-基尔沃思 Bernard-Killworth的中位数为231，这一数值较低，但仍大大高于邓巴的估计值。伯纳德-基尔沃思对一个人的社交网络规模最大可能值的估计，是基于在不同人群中使用不同方法进行的大量实地研究。它不是研究均值的平均值，而是重复出现的结果。<ref>{{cite journal |last=McCarty |first=C. |last2=Killworth |first2=P.

[[菲利普·利伯曼 Philip Lieberman]]认为，在没有最基本农业发展的情况下，社会群体会因为营养供给的限制而导致规模上受到制约，大约在30至50人。<ref>{{cite book|isbn=9780691148588|title=The Unpredictable Species: What Makes Humans Unique|last=Lieberman|first=Philip|date=2013|publisher=Princeton University Press|location=Princeton, N.J.|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/unpredictablespe0000lieb}}</ref> 人类的大脑相比较猿类会消耗更多的营养，因此，约150人的群体规模在旧石器时代的人类范围内是不可能达到的。比人类甚至哺乳动物都要小得多的大脑也被认为能够支持社会关系，包括具有等级制度的社交昆虫，每个个体都“知道”自己的位置（例如大约由80只个体组成的胡蜂集群<ref>{{cite episode|series=Micro Monsters 3D|last=Attenborough|first=David}}</ref>）以及计算机模拟的虚拟自治代理程序，它们具有简单的反应程序来仿效灵长类学中所称的“猿政治”。<ref>{{cite book|title= How the Body Shapes the Way We Think: A New View of Intelligence|last1= Pfeifer|first1=Rolf|last2=Bongard|first2=Josh|isbn=9780262162395|date=October 2006|publisher=MIT Press|location=Cambridge, Massachusetts}}</ref>
从对灵长类物种的比较中发现，饮食似乎可以解释群体规模和大脑体积之间的联系，以及哪些物种不符合这种相关性。许多依赖稀缺食物的灵长类动物已经进化出较小的大脑来保存营养，它们只能生存在小群体中，甚至是单独生活，它们降低了独居或小群体灵长类动物的平均脑容量。饮食理论还成功预测了生活在大群体中的脑容量较小的灵长类动物会选择食用丰富但营养价值不高的食物。在大规模群体中，脑容量较小的灵长类动物中有机会出现复杂的欺骗行为（既包括自然环境中的拥有丰富资源的觅食者，又有在人工食物丰富的情况下采用了社会生活方式的原始独居者），对于社会群体选择进化更大的脑容量和/或更高智商的典型推论，该现象提供了有力的反驳证据。<ref>Alex R.
