@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.

@hbdchick They are mutually exclusive, assuming cousin marriage is a rule - but the statements aren't contradictory, obviously. -
@AlWest13 what the rules are doesn't matter. what matters is who marries whom. complex just means having rules about who you *can't* marry. -
@hbdchick Rules do matter, & the difference between having prescriptive vs proscriptive rules surely indicates a difference in outlook, no?
