150

[ithildin]

"Robin Dunbar, a professor of evolutionary anthropology at Oxford University, developed a theory in the 1990s dubbed Dunbar's Number. The theory contends that the human brain is only capable of managing relationships--staying in contact at least once per year and knowing how friends relate to others--with about 150 people."

150? I'm lucky if I can keep up with how folks relate to each other for ... 10 people. Of course, that may be the Asperger's.
