  4. "The relationship of monogamy and independent families to societal complexity is more adequately described by a curvilinear model than by a linear model" (221)Sheils, Howard Dean - Monogamy and independent families, 1971 - 3 Variables

    This article suggests that the relationship of monogamy and independent families to societal complexity is best represented by a curvilinear rather than a linear model. Though the variance explained in this relationship is low, it is somewhat increased when variables are scored as dummy variables rather than ordinal.

  5. ". . . the efficacy of agricultural technology is directly related to a society's evolutionary level" (179)Sheils, Howard Dean - The importance of agriculture from the perspective of neoevolutionary theory, 1972 - 2 Variables

    This article posits a theory of social evolution based on agriculture. The author suggests that a society’s energy source, type of tool materials, and systems of agriculture constitute a variable cluster, and that they are associated with societal scale, economic differentiation, and mode of political integration. Empirical analysis supports this neoevolutionary theory of agriculture.
