I think too much overly fantastical fantasy has in part led to people not realizing this. A lot of times people say humanity is purely individualistic because we're not a hive mind, a purely fantastical idea. Even ants and bees and all other 'eusocial' insects are individuals by that definition; they don't literally share thoughts. This could be counter balanced by the idea of fantastic solitary creatures of human compatible intelligence spreading equally wide. What would a creatures that only meat up to mate and do the barest essentials of rearing young (as many creatures do on our very own earth) think of humans, living together at all times? And of such strange (to them) concepts as language and friends? The thoughts of such creatures would be equally as alien as a being that's actually many separate creatures, but I'm not aware of any piece of fiction delving into such speculative psychology; and so it remains purely a fun thought experiment I go back to on occasion.
