And likewise if you raised a human in a way that he never got any time to himself, he wouldn't be capable of functioning on his own. Not to mention the constant stimulus and lack of privacy might very well drive him utterly insane...
Regardless, people are not reptiles, a key distinction. Humans and virtually all closely related species are extremely social, forming troops and tribes that depend on each other. Reptiles evolved in the opposite direction, towards self-sufficiency without the need for a social group. Are some species communal? Sure. But "communal" is not "interdependent".
Which species are you talking about, exactly? I'm particularly interested in knowing what reptiles work together to acquire food...
