Unilineal Descent Organization and Deep Christianization: A Cross-Cultural Comparison
Abstract
The author studies variables that are usually regarded as the main causes of the decline of unilineal descent organization (statehood, class stratification and commercialization), along with a variable that has never been regarded as such a cause—deep Christianization. He finds that the traditionally accepted causes of the decline of unilineal descent organization are less significant (ρ = −.26 for the statehood; ρ= −.18 for class stratification, and ρ = −.23 for commercialization) than deep Christianization (φ = ρ = −.7). He also shows that the presence of unilineal descent groups correlates negatively with communal democracy and is especially strong for complex traditional societies (φ = −.49; = −.84). Because the communal democracy correlates positively with the supracommunal one, the Christianization of Europe might have contributed to the development of modern democracy by helping to destroy unilineal descent organization in this region.

In the citing paper
“Regarding our finding that segmentary patrilineal systems must have given way to kinship systems that are less efficient at reducing Y-chromosome diversity to explain the timing of the bottleneck, social anthropologists have already suggested that the socio-political importance of descent groups and their structure have probably changed, and/or that these groups were replaced by bilateral kindreds”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
