Man is a social animal?

In our textbooks, we have read the popular statement - Man is a social animal. I find that animals are more social than man. The human species seems to be the least social in the last few years of developments ;-) As we move further in life, we meet more people, we interact with many of the better intellects. It builds our perspective and humbles us further. This is an important part of maturity. Meeting people as we age is a must. Learning from the experiences is 'common sensical' intelligence.
