    I would be curious if groups would have formed had twenty or more people been shipwrecked instead of a small group.

      That would indeed be fascinating, the dynamic would be different. However from everything we know it’s sensible to assume it would’ve worked as well, given an island of sustainable size. It would most probably follow more of a village dynamic.

      Too many people think of Lord Of The Flies and the Stanford Prison Experiment (both nonsense as we know today) and believe they understood human nature, embittered. This annoys me.
