So I am reading this research as the blocking of the molecule resulted in the mice isolating themselves more or being less social. It seems like a huge leap to go on to suggest that the immune molecule plays a 'profound role in maintaining proper social function' and how do you define proper social function in mice and how does this translate to humans. I would say in animals it's about survival rather than being 'social'.
Sociability in humans has arisen from and is still a function of survival, both of individuals and of our species as a whole. If we were not social and sociable we would perish as a species, it is as simple as that.
