Very happy to have been asked to provide this commentary (with Gonzalo Linares Matás) on a recent interesting paper by Michael Walker! We foreground the importance of social networks in behavioural change throughout time, and how these relate to demography /1 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We recently finished our seventh year digging at Old Park, Kent. Every year we’re very grateful to be able to return to this beautiful site that is very slowly revealing its secrets.
