Incidentally, I like this that language is only a stand-in for picking the fuzz from our filthy friends and family.

Dont know much about apes and I know less about the torid love affairs of Cuttlefish but friends and friendly people make the world go around as humming birds build nests by birds of prey as they offer protection. Biology calls it Mutualism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutualism_(…)
and other areas explore the relation of friends like Parasitic wasps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMG-LWyNc…

I've known bright people who were anti-social and did not have many friends.

I would think that mentalizing would give you the capacity to read people who in many cases weren't worth wasting time on, thereby restricting the ability to accumulate friends.
