Predicting the Patterns of Kinship Dynamics in Human Societies

2025-04-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> By shaping the inclusive fitness effects of behaviours, kinship environments have important implications for social evolution, and studies across non-human animal societies have shown that the patterns of kinship dynamics individuals experience as they age can be predicted by simple demographic parameters relating to sex-specific dispersal patterns, the extent of extra-group mating, and the age-...
