@AlWest13 "This latter form of marriage [mother's brother's daughter] is common in Africa." - robin fox.

@hbdchick In the same book, Fox notes that complex marriage is relatively common in Africa. -
@AlWest13 yes. the one doesn't rule out the other, though. -
@hbdchick Have you looked into ghost marriages & homosexual marriage among the Nuer, in which a woman can take the place of a man? -
@AlWest13 yes, i know about those. female-female marriages also take place in southern african societies. they are irrelevant, tho... -
@hbdchick Interesting nonetheless. Are you not interested in non-HBD-related things at all? -
@AlWest13 yes i am. but since i'm interesting in evolution/natural selection/genetics, i'm really mainly interested in who has whose babies! -
@hbdchick Then maybe marriage isn't enough - you'll need to find out who has sex with whom. Trickier subject & harder to research, but... -
@AlWest13 yes. one can only find general mating patterns by looking at marriage, of course. already discussed on blog.
