Relatedness within and between Agta residential groups
Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2021 Theoretical models relating to the evolution of human behaviour usually make assumptions about the kinship structure of social groups. Since humans were hunter–gatherers for most of our evolutionary history, data on the composition of contemporary hunter–
