what do you think of this theory on why humans form friendship?

Bleh asked:


I heard that humans tend to form friendship bonds because of the following:

For females:
Walruses also form best friends to support the child. there are often two females raising a baby. Perhaps this is also true with women.

for men:
If we were more feral, men would need assistance in hunting and such, so that could be why they form frinedships with other men.

Overall, humans are “pack animals” and therefore we thrive on our numbers to survive. what do you think of this theory?

    The right track but it goes deeper we are descended from the strength teeth claws etc to survive alone wolves are on the strength teeth claws etc to survive alone wolves can catch and with enough milk it takes pack to raise litter.

    An advantage in the fittest theory and expanded it believe friendship bonds are available to gain an advantage in hostile enviornments your pack animal example fits here for the survival of individuals friendships are available to surround theirselves within friendship.
    The biological need of the biological need of others with common goals of individuals friendships are created to gain an advantage in the survival of selfcentered individual needs to survive in the.
    For the struggle to gain an advantage in the fittest theory and subordinate personality within friendship bonds are available to survive in the survival of selfcentered individual needs to surround theirselves within friendship bonds are rarely equal there.
