I am looking for #scientific #literature on temporal behaviors of single (i.e., temporarily unconnected or minimally connected) #nodes in #dynamicNetworks (my application is face-to-face interactions). I end up finding literature on modeling of influencial nodes and #subgraphs -- I am kinda looking for the opposite. And the psychology literature seems to use networks to predict #loneliness.

Anyone with a golden tip on how/where I can find this?

When will more human geneticists see that Darwin's famous "family tree" sales pitch for natural selection isn't the right model for them? Even the so-called improved version on the right of (what I like to call) the "pitchfork model" of human evolution fails to capture what's behind human genetic diversity.

An example of how easily relational thinking can reflex back to categorical thinking. Also shows how hard it is to imagine networks that aren't structures built around a single kind of tie/purpose.

I am becoming convinced the difference between categorical and relational thinking is as fundamental as the difference between Ptolemy and Copernicus: mistaking contingency for purpose, structure, and inherent interdependence.
