Correlates of Monogamy in Human Groups: Tests of Some Sociobiological Hypotheses
Kleiman's review of monogamy among mammals contained several hypotheses concerning correlates of monogamy among humans. This paper utilizes holocultural tests to investigate these hypotheses and finds most not to be supported by the ethnographic record. The paper also contains a discussion of the theoretical and methodological problems confronted in attempting to test explanations of human behavior advanced by evolutionary biologists by means of holocultural research.
