Hypothesis
‘Matrilineal descent groups have probably developed independently... on the basis of prior matrilocality’ (4).
Note
The first p value given is the significance of the association between the trait and matriliny using the SCCS, and the second is using the supertree. Authors note that there is support for correlated evolution, but not for the casual transition from matrilocality to matrilineality (p. 7).
