they're different paragraphs a 150 persons tribe is an inbred tribe lines between cooperation and conflict are not clear-cut i really don't feel like listing all the ways in which this coherence/conflict, defection/loyalty dichotomy misses key aspects of human socialization
That’s ok. 150 is mentioned because it’s the Dunbar number. I’d be curious to hear about harder evidence that tribes were actually much bigger than this.

If you’re interested the passages here are trying to sketch the difference between tribal life vs. city/static life rather than be a true account of how tribes worked. In order to theorise about global life / beyond nation state life etc

you need a true account if you wanna sketch the difference accurately though, otherwise you end up with bad theories and a bunch of wasted time in your the trashcan
