Population Band

Population band groups social groups by roughly how many people belong to them. Wikipedia notes hunter-gatherer societies were "usually a tribe of only a few dozen people," a scale far smaller than the "sedentary and more populous agricultural societies" that eventually displaced most of them. This dimension lets a visitor compare societies of a similar size.
