Overlapping of so-called "parent groups" territorially is also frequent, resulting in more interaction and mingling of community members, further altering the make-up of the parent group. For example, a number of males may break off from the main group in order to hunt or forage for food during the day, but at night they may return to join (fusion) the primary group to share food and partake in other activities. In a fission-fusion society, the main parent group can fracture (fission) into smaller stable subgroups or individuals to adapt to environmental or social circumstances. Permanent social networks consist of all individual members of a faunal community and often varies to track changes in their environment and based on individual animal dynamics.

Are there any notable examples of fission-fusion behavior in humans apart from, say, splitting up to go to work or school in households in a developed country? - Damian Yerrick ( talk | stalk) 18:53, 31 December 2011 (UTC) In this edit, Haeinous ( talk The article mentions humans in the context of "usually less organised and less social than bonobos". Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.193.12 ( talk) 11:26, 9 August 2013 (UTC) Should have some human examples What is usually less organised and less social? Needs rewording. Not sure what is being said here: "This form of social organization occurs in several species of primates, though usually less organised and less social than bonobos. Does the term "fission-fusion society" also apply to non-mammals such as social birds, fish and insects? If so, could this article warrant inclusion in other WikiProjects and would it be appropriate to give one or two examples in the article to illustrate such scope? If not, what exactly is the limit of the term's scope, what makes it distinct from similar social behaviors in other clades, and what term is applied to splitting-and-regathering flocks, swarms and schools? Where do we draw the line between such advanced social behavior as humans/chimps versus animals that just migrate to a shared feeding/mating/etc location at a convenient time? - Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.113.151.219 ( talk) 17:44, 26 February 2016 (UTC) Unclear wording Yet it also mentions examples of non-primate mammals forming fission-fusion societies. I've noticed the label that this page is in scope of the Primates WikiProject. Another example of a fission-fusion society in hunter-gatherer societies is communication among the group." So did the fission-fusion form only begin with industrialization, or did it exist before in hunter-gatherer societies? Not clear.īartvanaudenhove ( talk) 15:47, 3 June 2019 (UTC) What is the scope of the term? "In hunter-gatherer societies, humans form groups which are made up of several individuals that may split up to obtain different resources. The article says "Humans also form fission-fusion societies, and this began with industrialization." But then it goes on to highlight aspects of fission-fusion in hunter-gatherer societies, which have obviously existed before industrialization.
