A note for Lesson no. 2, "Your Brain Is a Network," in Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett.
Some context from page 36‌ is:

You can thank natural selection for this lean and potent hub structure.

A discussion of the human brain's hub structure can be found in van den Heuvel and Sporns,[1] and for the development of this structure, see Turk et al.[2] A discussion of the evolution the brain's hub structure can be found in Griffa and van den Heuvel.[3] The hub structure of your brain contributes to its complexity.[4]
