As far as I know humans are a “group” when there is a bunch. A group of people, a group of human beings.

Depends.

Small: a couple, a trio, a family, a band, a gang,

A bit bigger: a mob, a crowd, a community, a party,

Lot bigger: a caste, a tribe, a nation, a subculture, population

The biggest: Homo Sapiens species

Why, that would be a Fluther, of course. As in, “a fluther of intelligent, enlightened people join together to discuss life and all its minutia.”

Yupper. Two’s company, three’s a crowd, so crowd it must be although I like “mob” or “bunch.”

To you, @ragingloli, I suppose the word would be smorgasborg.
