Analyses do not support the parasite-stress theory of human sociality
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 35 (2):83-85 (2012)
Abstract
Re-analysis of the data provided in the target article reveals a lack of evidence for a strong, universal relationship between parasite stress and the variables relating to sociality. Furthermore, even if associations between these variables do exist, the analyses presented here do not provide evidence for Fincher & Thornhill's (F&T's) proposed causal mechanismAuthor's Profile
