The solitary individual was more vulnerable and its ability to survive in a hostile world was clearly inferior to that of individuals hidden in a group of the same species. However, the condition was that there was no more competition and mutual struggle for food within the group, i.e. it had to be an individual of a species where the environment gave that species an excess of food. Typically herbivores or omnivores.
