Hypothesis
Societies where ancestral hunting and gathering is the predominant subsistence mode will be negatively associated with the frequency of homosexuality (389).
Note
The frequency of homosexuality increased as the proportion of gathering in the subsistence economy declined. Type of agriculture was the strongest predictor of homosexuality.
