Hypothesis
Agricultural societies should exhibit a lower degree of sexual dimorphism than non-agricultural societies (576).
Note
Societies characterized by a low dependence on agriculture were also contrasted with societies with a high degree of dependence on agriculture. No significant difference in sexual dimorphism was found.
