  1. Association of sense of place with social cohesion will be stronger among specific social units. (286)Thompson, Barton - Sense of Place Among Hunter-Gatherers, 2016 - 2 Variables

    Thompson examines the relationship between sense of place and social parameters among hunter-gatherers. Results indicate that "sense of place among hunter-gatherers is closely associated with the social group that they identify with"(283), which supports the idea that sense of place is incorporated into social identity. Thompson suggests that sense of place is best characterized as a home environment that is defined by social connections, and is ultimately a key aspect of our coalitional psychology.

  2. Primary biomass will be positively associated with mean group size among foragers (61).Marlowe, Frank W. - Hunter-gatherers and human evolution, 2005 - 2 Variables

    This article explores the relationships between habitat and social organization among humans and other species. Diet, technology, group size, home range, mobility, kinship, marital residence, sexual division of labor, mating system, central places, food sharing, and egalitarianism are all considered.

  6. Societal complexity among hunter gatherers will be positively associated with the presence of warfare (78).Fry, Douglas P. - War and social organization: from nomadic bands to modern states, 2007 - 2 Variables

    In this chapter of 'Beyond War,' Douglas critiques previous codes of warfare to make a distinction between feuding and warring. A test of warfare and level of social complexity among hunter-gatherers is conducted. Results indicate that complex hunter-gatherers make war while a majority of simple hunter-gatherers do not.

  7. A lower limit to dwelling density, a point beyond which people will not willingly crowd themselves, and a basic need for shelter from the elements will be positively associated with dwelling floor area per person (8)Brown, Barton McCaul - Population estimation from floor area: a restudy of "naroll's constant", 1987 - 3 Variables

    A restudy of Naroll's (1962) measure of dwelling floor area using theory that it is predicted by the basic needs for protection from climate and crowding. This theory is not supported by the findings but Brown posits a new average for estimating floor area in dwellings based on his sample.

  8. Complex and equestrian hunter-gatherers will make war, most simple hunter-gatherers will not (104).Fry, Douglas P. - Social organization matters!, 2006 - 2 Variables

    This chapter includes cross-cultural tests of the relationship between social complexity of hunter-gatherer groups and warfare. Results suggest that more complex and equestrian hunter-gatherer societies tend to be more war-like and less complex hunter gatherer societies tend to be more peaceful.

  9. The connection between having children and sex identity will be positively associated with Population Growth Rate (PGR) (64).Sipes, Richard G. - Population growth, society, and culture: an inventory of cross-culturally te..., 1980 - 2 Variables

    This book examines population growth rate and its correlates by testing 274 hypotheses (derived from multiple theories) with an 18-society sample. Forty-one of these hypotheses were significant at the .05 level, leading the author to accept these relationships as reflective of the real world. The 274 hypotheses are grouped into 51 broader hypotheses, and marked by (*) where relationships are significant as designated by the author or by significance p < 0.05.

  10. Hunter-gatherers will experience more famine than those with other modes of subsistence (1).Berbesque, J. Colette - Hunter-gatherers have less famine than agriculturalists, 2014 - 2 Variables

    This study tests the common belief that hunter-gatherers suffer more famine than other subsistence types. Controlling for habitat quality, authors examine the relationship between famine and subsistence type and find that hunter-gatherers actually experience significantly less famine than other subsistence types.
