A preliminary generative model is presented, consisting of a series of seven rules. e first five are derived from the literature and are concerned with group formation. e last two are proposed by the writer with a view to making the articulation between group formation, social ecology and social organisation. </p><p><strong>Disciplines </strong></p><p>Anthropology | Social and Behavioral Sciences </p><p>is journal article is available at ScholarlyCommons: <a href="/goto?url=http://repository.upenn.edu/anthro_papers/67?utm_source=repository.upenn.edu%2Fanthro_papers%2F67&amp;utm_medium=PDF&amp;utm_campaign=PDFCoverPages" target="_blank">h</a><a href="/goto?url=http://repository.upenn.edu/anthro_papers/67?utm_source=repository.upenn.edu%2Fanthro_papers%2F67&amp;utm_medium=PDF&amp;utm_campaign=PDFCoverPages" target="_blank">t</a><a href="/goto?url=http://repository.upenn.edu/anthro_papers/67?utm_source=repository.upenn.edu%2Fanthro_papers%2F67&amp;utm_medium=PDF&amp;utm_campaign=PDFCoverPages" target="_blank">p://repository.upenn.edu/anthro_papers/67 </a></p>
