=== Quick Summary ===
In this paper, the author present a comparative analysis of the behavioral dynamics of rural and urban societies using four years of mobile phone data from all 1.4M subscribers within a small country. The main ideas are:

*Understanding of the social interactions becomes science rather than arts.
*Comparative analysis of the behavioral dynamics of rural and urban societies.
*Utilizing mobile call data records  of 1.4M mobile phone subscribers over 4 years.


=== Main Results ===
*Quantify  more fundamental rules of human.
*Confirm the hypothesis for behavioral adaptation, demonstrating that individuals change their patterns of communication to increase the similarity with their new social environment.

===Comments===
*Causality: more rigorous experiments should be designed and performed to establish causal relationships from urban environments.
*It is worthwhile to study in greater temporal detail the migration through these periods of change with their point of origin and the formation of new ones in their destination.
