Kinship networks and forager fractality

Giorgio,

Given your interest in kinship networks, I would do the following to set up a problem for study We have the list of 339 foragers And a list of 80+ kinsources networks. I could find the intersection of those societies. A good question would be what is the effect of the diameters or other network characteristics of the marriage networks on the fractal parameter or average nuclear family size, and what are the correlates with other variables, e.g. polygyny, age of marriage, continent (e.g., Australia vs. others) number of fractal levels....
