We build a simple model of family groups, in which exchange of brides and resultant cooperation and competition are considered, by applying an agent-based model and multi-level evolution. By introducing one dimensional trait and preference, we show the emergence of the incest taboo.
Run one-trait/emergy.py to get the phase diagrams on the emergence of the incest taboo.
Run one-trait/plot.py to get the visual images on the emergence of the incest taboo.
By introducing two dimensional trait and preference, we show the emergence of kinship structures.
Run two-trait/emergy.py to get the phase diagrams on the emergence of kinship structures.
Run two-trait/plot.py to get the visual images on the emergence of kinship structures.
We simplify the two-traiit model and discuss the evolution of kinship structures and descent systems.
Run revised/structure.py for the simulation.
Data analyses using global ethnographic database, the Standard Cross-Cultural Sample are conducted. See data_analysis for details.
