Yes, if i interpret "social" as actively lived collective co-existence then humans in general are only social creatures on the small scale (family, friends, beloved ones, ...).
Well, also unconscious collective co-existence can be called "social" per definition. Though, i guess that this isn't what you are referring to when you write "social creatures".
Without rules we are only actively social in small "societies", but we aren't active social creatures in terms of bigger societies. And humans are still not real active social creatures in terms of a global society imho. Actually, we (humanity) are still in the beginning to create a real conscious global society which would deserve such a title. Only a minority cares about what happens to humans in other countries and continents. Most people don't even care what happens to their direct neighbours.
