Group identity without social interactions?

We present several arguments for the preeminence of social interactions in determining and giving shape to societies. In our view, a society can emerge from social interaction and relationship patterns without the need for establishing an <i>a priori</i> limit on who actually belongs to it. Markers of group identity are one element among many that allow societies to persist.

Abstract

We present several arguments for the preeminence of social interactions in determining and giving shape to societies. In our view, a society can emerge from social interaction and relationship patterns without the need for establishing an <i>a priori</i> limit on who actually belongs to it. Markers of group identity are one element among many that allow societies to persist.
