Except that it is all fictitious. In fact, you are born to parents, have grandparents, uncles, perhaps siblings. There is a village or town or city in which your family works and lives. If we can infer from the Bushmen, even nomadic humanoids traveled in small social groups. Not only that, but man fulfilled his potential as society developed. He learned language, specialization appeared, economic reserves were built to support public works, writing, philosophy, art, and rudimentary science grew. As society became more complex and affluent, men humanized the environment, and applied his talents to dignify, beautify, and ease his life. Finally, in the rise of industrial civilization came the chance for the rising of the masses to their own dignity. Clearly, man is not fully human as one person, but only in a fully realized social context. For this reason, although autonomy is important, so is a sense of the social web. We find ourselves through the web of our social relations.
