Hypothesis
Capacity of available land resources will be related to the evolution of family systems.
Note
Capacity of available land resources appears as "Communality of land" and "Land shortage" in the analyses (which indicate larger and smaller land capacity, respectively). The negative correlation with communality of land and the positive correlation with land shortage suggest that extended families will evolve in areas with smaller land capacity.
