Hypothesis

Higher levels of social stratification will increase the probability of observing male homosexual preference in the Ethnographic Atlas database even when controlling for linguistic-cultural relationships (i.e. accounting for Galton's problem using linguistic data).

Note

Final sample contained 92 societies from the Ethnographic Atlas.
