Which evolutionary model best explains the culture of honour?

Note

The subsistence types in the analysis are pastoral, horticulture, and intensive agriculture. The authors use 18 OCMs to measure reactive psychological phenotypes, but only three are associated with a particular subsistence: "Ingroup antagonisms," "Social control," and "Transmission of cultural norms." Two variables are significant for the study: 1) "Ingroup antagonisms" is higher for pastoralist societies, and 2) "Social control" is higher for horticultural societies, suggesting the presence of norms condemning the violence. The rest of the OCM categories did not show a significant association with a specific subsistence, primarily because of the low number of excerpts in these categories.
