Hypothesis
There is a positive relationship between the percentage of dependence on animal husbandry and the development of food sharing practices dominated by status distribution (14).
Note
Only one of the three tests (Fligner-Policello, Brunner and Munzel and Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney) found this to be statistically significant, so the researchers cautioned against claiming this relationship to be significant on its own without additional research.
| Test Name | Support | Significance | Coefficient | Tail |
