Hypothesis
Cultural groups that cooperate in subsistence are more likely to play cooperative games compared to other groups.
Note
The authors claim support for a moderately robust association between the cooperativeness of games and measures of interdependence in subsistence. However, the relationship is only supported with interdependence in land-based subsistence, not water-based subsistence.
