  1. "[Size of community is related to subsistence economy]. Local communities tend to be very small in gathering, hunting, pastoral, and fishing societies. . . . Horticulturalists and extensive cereal cultivators occupy . . . larger settlements . . . and intensive agriculturalists [have largest communities]"Murdock, George Peter - Correlations of exploitative and settlement patterns, 1969 - 2 Variables

    This study examines relationships between subsistence type, population size, and sedentarism. Hunting, gathering, fishing, and herding societies tend to be smaller than horticultural and agricultural societies. Horticulture, agriculture, and fishing societies tend to be more sedentary.

  2. "Societies with gathering, hunting, and pastoral economies tend to be nomadic or seminomadic [while societies with fishing, horticulture and agriculture economies tend to be semisedentary or sedentary]" (144)Murdock, George Peter - Correlations of exploitative and settlement patterns, 1969 - 2 Variables

  3. "This social classification and differentiation [of moieties] . . . should tend to produce a corresponding effect on kinship terminology, and thus result in the phenomenon of bifurcate merging" (57)Murdock, George Peter - Bifurcate merging: a test of five theories, 1947 - 2 Variables

    This study examines previous hypotheses concerning kinship terminologies, particularly the development of bifurcate merging. The roles of moieties, exogamy, unilinear kin groupings, unilinear descent, and preferential mating are considered.

  4. ". . . [there is] a strong tendency for bifurcate merging to be associated with exogamy and to be lacking in the absence of exogamy" (59)Murdock, George Peter - Bifurcate merging: a test of five theories, 1947 - 2 Variables

    This study examines previous hypotheses concerning kinship terminologies, particularly the development of bifurcate merging. The roles of moieties, exogamy, unilinear kin groupings, unilinear descent, and preferential mating are considered.

  7. ". . . the degree to which women participate in subsistence activities depends on the compatibility of the latter with child-care responsibilities" (211)Murdock, George Peter - Factors in the division of labor by sex: a cross-cultural analysis, 1973 - 9 Variables

    This article investigates factors influencing the division of labor by gender, including occupation specialization, the type of material labor involves, the presence of the plow, nomadism, and the advantage that a product may yield to either sex. Hypotheses are widely supported.
