but what about the relative amounts in children vs adults?
Of course children are more clannish than adults. But the "clan" of a child is that of its parents, not of its friends and peers.
Adults can move to a new clan, band together to start a clan or sub-clan, replace or influence a clan's leadership. Children are pretty much powerless and are tied to their parents' clan. If anything ever really threatens that bond, I expect "clannishness" to completely override other priorities.
