Graphical Representations of Simulated Social Networks

Caption

Researchers at the University of Tokyo used computer simulations based on principles of statistical physics and evolutionary biology to model how human societies would form under different conditions. Direct-exchange (left), generalized-exchange (center), and restricted-exchange (right) social structure models observed by cultural anthropologists in the 1960s are represented graphically.
