Abbey Page @abbeyepage.bsky.social · 13/02/2024hunter-gatherers mean fertility was not lower than the others and credible intervals are large and overlapping for all groups. subsistence typology isn't a useful proxy for behavioural predictors of fertility! 110
Abbey Page @abbeyepage.bsky.social · 13/02/2024BUT! Individual measures are! 🎣🍢🚜 We have moderate evidence that more foraging was associated with lower fertility (plot A) while increases in farming (plot B-D) strongly associated with increased fertility but as you can see the trends are not consistent in all populations 110
Abbey Page @abbeyepage.bsky.social · 13/02/2024Likewise - market integration was predictive of lower fertility but the effects were stronger and more consistent in the most integrated populations 🛒 200
