Reference 'Tribe', by Sebastian Junger. Humans work well in groups up to about 150.

Yeah, the wiki article on Dunbar's number is good.

"the number of people you would not feel embarrassed about joining uninvited for a drink if you happened to bump into them in a bar".
My undergrad was Archaeology, and dealt a lot with these issues, always fascinated me :)
