Zusammenfassung:Cross-cultural research has indicated a correlation between social structural indicators of close-knit networks and feud. It has been argued by other investigators that such a relationship is spurious and that ecological variables account for the covariation. This spuriousness hypothesis is tested, employing ecological measures from the Ethno graphic Atlas and two foraging indicators derived from theoretical ecology. A conditional model is found to account for the relationship between ecology, feud, and social structure.
