Two rules about marriage (Exo, Endo)
1. Exogamy- outside. You must marry outside of your last name; you have to marry outside of your 1st cousins. A group that you must marry outside of.
2. Endogamy- Inside. A group that you must marry inside of. Religion (marry an LDS person), many people require marrying within your race or social class.
Four Theories
1. Natural Aversion Theory
2. Imbreeding Theory
3. Family Disruption Theory
4. Theory of expanding social alliances
Natural Aversion Theory
- parents naturally not attracted to siblings, siblings not attracted to parents, and siblings not attracted to siblings. (On the test he will ask a question: which of the four theories is good, and which of the theories is bad. It is not a bad theory, but it still happens, apparently some people don’t have a natural aversion.) About 15% under the age of 20 are involved in an incest relationship.
Imbreeding Theory
not a good theory, because there is no scientific proof that they have that gene. There is no way to predict when that recessive gene will reappear. (two genes, recessive, and dominant) They don’t know if they have harmful recessive genes that they can pass onto their children.
Family Disruption theory
two components- 1. Jealousy- people kill/ do horrible things because they are jealous about each other. The nuclear family wouldn’t work because of jealousy. 2. Creates role ambiguity, he doesn’t know who he is, his aunt and his uncle are his mother and father. This is a good theory.
The theory of expanding social alliances
Through marriage you have created social allies, you have created more brother and sisters, a new set of parents, in-laws. The broader the gene pool the healthier the offspring. This is a good theory.

is the Neolithic theory is about 2 things:
1. Domesticating Animals 2. Domesticating Plants
2 kinds of pastoralists
Nomadic and Transhuman (where they set up a permanent residency and then go out and gather.
Three Theories of Division of Labor based on gender
1. Men have a stronger upper body, therefore more adept at farming, tending to soil, hunting, warfare, better at things that take them outside the domestic domain (household).
2. Women are better attuned to do things around the household, because you do not want to put children and women out on harms way, because it could harm the womens procreative abilities - they bear, nurture, and socialize those children.
3. Men are more expendable in terms of reproduction - women have a more scarce resource (fertility) because she only has a limited period of time to produce children (from puberty to menopause, about 30-35 years)
Reciprocity - Three different types
1. Generalized - Whom do you practice it? Moral Obligation? Time you have to return favor/product? (Hunters and Gatherers practice Generalized Reciprocity - example: When you kill an animal, you have to consume it immediately because of no refrigeration. They will be willing to share because there is no way that they can consume all of it before it spoils. Also, there is uncertainty when you will catch something again, so they all must share. Lastly, they are members of your family, so there is also a moral obligation to support them as well.) GENERALIZED RECIP SUMMARY (Whom? Family. Time? Not specified. Moral Obligation? Highest)
2. Balanced - Trading partners (Whom, Moral Obligation, Time), High, Immediate
3. Negative - (Whom, Moral Obligation, Time) Stranger, No, Immediate
