    That would mean that there was never a point in history when there existed
    humans without social patterns (and it would make it more difficult to
    explain why Pirsig thinks only humans pattern socially). Moreover, I would
    think that social "patterning" would require multiple humans behaving in
    accordance with some "pattern". But I'll think about it some more and get
    back to you.
