Maybe, we just don't know! One hypothesis for example claims the exact opposite, that we started living with more people so we could "outsource" some efforts to others. |

it's hard for me to imagine tribes & clans dramatically gaining size ~100Kyrs ago to the extent that it would make such a dramatic, species-wide difference in brain size. I would tend to guess the reasons were multifactorial, at least. Possibly environmental changes and interbreeding (there were five other humans back then IIRC) were factors. |
