RESEARCH: Why can’t more than four people have a conversation at once?

[Ryan Goble]

If you want to have a single conversation, don't include more than 4 people.

That's maximum number, according to evolutionary psychologists. https://t.co/KfsL2LS3W3

Unless the conversation has some order, I think it becomes more difficult to have a conversation with more than 4 because it is difficult to maintain the dynamics without sub conversations.You need to feel like your contributions are worthy or can be convincing. More people involved in a conversation are more difficult to find commonality (which could lead to arguments or lost interest) Everyone should have an opportunity to engage to feel a part of meaningful conversation.
