we lived in small social groupings of a few interrelated clans This is a far cry from saying humans are pack animals, which, IMO, is a very rigid and strictly-enforced social hierarchy of paramount importance to its members. To me, it doesn't wash anymore. I can't disagree with the expansion and thus unmanageableness of psychologically identifiable groups, but I think there are other more reasonable ways of explaining the phenomenon than 'pack behavior". Sociobiology has largely been found to be an oversimplification over the last ten years (though it certainly was the rage when I was in grad school).
