@pseudoerasmus they all point out that the tswana herd cattle, therefore fbd marriage, but all sorts of pops in southern africa herd cattle!
@pseudoerasmus no good explanation from the anthros for *why* the tswana married their fbds btw. same old reason: to keep wealth in family.

@hbdchick where in Isaac Schapera book ? -
@pseudoerasmus yeah. the data are here: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=7902268 … ca. 1830s-1860s, 16.4% of elites married fbd, 3.8% of commoners.... -
@hbdchick I don't see anything too relevant on current Botswana thing, but it did unblock a blockage I've had about FBD ! -
@pseudoerasmus cool! (^_^) (i'll be blogging about the tswana in the new year, so stay tuned!)
