Evolution, social organisation and experience

As an evolving species I'm not sure we can say there is an ideal form of social organisation that maximises happiness and longevity of the people.

Every society is an experiment and the physical and mental health of the inhabitants is a measure of how successful it is being in fulfilling its possibilities.

There is no end point, though societies may achieve a kind of equilibrium, at least for a time.

The social setting we encounter is a big part of our experience in this world as a human being as so each life lived in a different social setting adds to the totality of who we are.
