- Matrilocality will be positively associated with neighboring societies who speak dissimilar languages (98)Divale, William Tulio - Migration, external warfare, and matrilocal residence, 1974 - 2 Variables
Several theories on the development of matrilocal residence are tested. The main argument put forth predicts that matrilocal residence will develop in response to a need to break up fraternal interest groups that encourage internal war and instead encourage a pattern of external war that is more beneficial in populated regions with additional group migration.
