Hypothesis

Female pollution avoidance ritual will be associated with society complexity, unilineal descent, low female contribution to subsistence, low male contribution to childcare, and low female prestige (718, 727).

Note

Male ritual associated with female reproductive cycle will be inversely associated with the same variables.
