Very different complex networks, like global air traffic and neural networks, share very similar 'backbones', say a group of mathematicians, and by stripping each network down to their essential nodes and links, they found each network possesses a skeleton which shares common features, much like vertebrates do.Mammals have evolved to look very different despite a common underlying structure and now it appears real-world complex networks have common descent in a similar way. read more
