The obtained spatial graph allows us to calculate the average separation of people in a very simple manner. The acquired results agree with the well-known presence of the small-world phenomenon in human relationships. They indicate that this feature can be understood merely as a consequence of the probability composition. We also examine how this phenomenon evolves with the development of human society.14 pages, 6 Metapost figures, LaTeX; minor changes (e.g. Fig. 1) and corrected typosPhysics and Societytext
