Hypothesis
When included in a model testing the relationship between frequency of warfare, natrual disasters, and socialization for mistrust, food producing will be a significant predictor of frequency of warfare (11).
Note
This result suggests that food-producing is not an independent predictor of frequency of warfare. Foragers have less war because they have less threat of natural disasters and less socialization for mistrust.
