Human societies: start with food, water. Add some people - at least 50, all ages, but enough adults of sufficient age to reproduce. Say- 3 kids, 2 adults, 2 siblings for each parent [their spouses and 3 children each], their parents - 29 in that group, plus 11 misc. individuals from other families. How many different faces could they be expected to see in a year? only another 500?? (as they travel.)
A commercial this a.m, viewed on Hulu, stated that before a child in the USA begins school, they've seen over 100,000 acts of violence. Even if this includes depictions of accidents, and violence towards animals, and cartoon violence, that's more than most humans have ever seen.
Not until standing armies were possible, and chiefs could control armies in the thousands, would it be possible to see thousands of dead bodies. But our 6 year olds see it before they start school.
