In social chemistry, the social bond is the variation of chemical bond or set of forces that enables biologically derived human beings to stick together into social aggregates or "social molecules" (supra-human molecular aggregates or structures) in which we actually find them from the moment, quite literally, of their conception. [1]

English biochemist Rupert Sheldrake, who himself postulates a "morphic field" based type of human-human bond to explain phenomenon such as intuition or the sense of being stared at, argues that "no one knows the nature of human social bonds." [2]
