Main AuthorHypothesis
Herzog, John D."The table shows that nuclear household societies with a high degree of complexity do not involve their women in subsistence pursuits, and at the same time employ Type II instruction [deliberate instruction by non-kin without change of residence]; it shows the reverse for nuclear societies with low complexity" (332)
Weisner, Thomas S.Mothers rearing children are unlikely to live in nuclear, neolocal households (173).
