Mate selection Kinship Network of a Mexican village With R. Van Kemper, D. White. Tzintzuntzan has been an exemplary case study in American ethhography.
Tzintzuntzan data offer a unique opportunity to connect demography with quantitative anthropology.
We test the hypothesis that kinship has had a tremendous influence on population dynamics in developing countries. Landholding in rural Mexico has been shown to be associated with migration and can be hypothesized to have an impact on nuptiality and fertility. Therefore our project aims to draw and draw upon a structural analysis of the kinship network of Tzintzuntzan area.
