Hypothesis
Post-1500 ethnic groups residing in land with high-productive variation will have increased exogamous inter-ethnic marriage.
Note
This was tested first with data from the Ethnographic atlas (p<.05), then with the SCCS (p<.1). However, note that the measure of marriage was community exogamy, not inter-ethnic exogamy.
