英文摘要 |
The purpose of the present study is to check a world-wide representative sample by the application of a statistical technique to find the relationships among the factors of intensive agriculture, unilineality, and social stratification. Although many anthropologists have dealt with this subject, such as Murdock's work on the division of labor by sex, postnuptial residence, and rule of descent (1937, 1949), Aberle's study on matrilineality (1961), and Sahlins' survey on the correlation between subsistence productivity and social stratification (1958) -a partial concern of the present paper-the writer considers that this problem is worth further study through an elaborate design and a large quantity of data. |
