[SSC] David Macaleavey's research source on group size?

[David Young]

Robin Dunbar was the name quoted.

To be honest, although I've heard the popular science stuff about this on
optimum social network size (120? But this is total network size, not the
size of working groups) I'm not very familiar with the underlying research
so I don't know where to point you for a good summary.

Cheers,
David.
