Main AuthorHypothesis
Blumberg, Rae Lesser"We find a curvilinear relationship . . . between familial complexity and each of the four aspects of . . . societal complexity . . . mean size of local community, permanence of settlement, stratification, and . . . levels of jurisdictional hierarchy" (907, 908, 909)
Rosenblatt, Paul C.Ritual specialists are more likely to be present in large scale societies with relatively permanent communities and in societies with rules for inheritance of real property.
