The data doesn't lie. Our penchant for glorifying the extraordinary individuals, the supernumeraries, hides the truth that progress is the fruit of collective effort, not the result of "great men/women" molding the future out of the clay of inferior minds. It makes it an easier story to tell when when we seek to give credit for human "progress" a package. But, not only is a village needed to raise a healthy, productive child, it is only the interaction at the communal level that can manifest the social, economic and political changes that we boast of as netting us progress.     As an avid reader on the subject of social and individual behavior, I think the core reality that our collective survival is a societal, therefore a network task, is well understood.
