Hypotheses
- Extension of inbreeding rules will be associated with social stratification (116-117, 120).Thornhill, Nancy Wilmsen - The evolutionary significance of incest rules, 1990 - 2 Variables
This article investigates incest rules, proposing that they are instituted by rulers as a way of preventing wealth-concentration among non-ruling families. Three hypotheses are derived and supported with empirical analysis. Two alternative evolutionary hypotheses are discussed and dismissed by the author.

This article presents tests of hypotheses derived from an evolutionary approach to the rape of women. A cross-cultural test of the relationship between polygyny and rape in non-industrial societies is presented. Results suggest that the degree of polygyny is positively associated with the severity of punishment for rape.
