Hypothesis
Beyond-household sharing is a cultural universal.
Note
If there was little or no information for food sharing available, coders also looked at the following OCM categories: daily routine (512), household (592), and community structure (621). When information was limited for labor sharing, coders looked at household (592), annual cycle (221), daily routine (512), exchange transactions (437), food quest activities (220), animal husbandry (230), and agriculture (240).
