  1. Population size will have an influence on cultural complexity as measured by the number of animal and magic folk talesAcerbi, Alberto - Cultural complexity and demography: The case of folktakes, 2017 - 3 Variables

    Acerbi, Kendal, and Tehrani examine the relationship between population size and cultural complexity as measured by a non-technological cultural domain: folktales. Three measures of complexity for folktales are analyzed, 1) number of tale types, 2) number of narrative motifs, and 3) number of traits in variants of two international folktales. Findings suggest that the relationship between cultural complexity and population may depend on the domain, as different domains vary in cultural maintenance and transmission.
