Hypotheses
- Dependency on herding will be predictive of themes of violence and punishment in pre-industrial societies. (5)Cao, Yiming - Herding, Warfare, and a Culture of Honor: Global Evidence, 2021 - 3 Variables
The authors of this study globally test the culture of honor hypothesis, which proposes that societies with traditional herding practices developed value systems that encourage revenge and violence. Because their livelihood depends on a mobile asset, herders are more vulnerable to theft and may be more likely to turn to violence or aggressiveness to defend their animals. The authors found dependence on herding to be significantly associated with both past and contemporary conflict and punishment.
