报告摘要

The story coined the expression ‘six degrees of separation’ to reflect the idea that all people of the world are six or fewer social connections apart from each other. A clear explanation of the mechanisms through which social networks organize into ultra-small world states (where the diameter does not depend on the system size over several orders of magnitude) is, however, still missing. In my talk, I will show that the mechanism behind such observed regularity can be found in a dynamic evolution of the network. Therefore, evolutionary rules of the kind traditionally associated with human cooperation and altruism can in fact account also for the emergence of such a famous attribute of social networks.
