Hypothesis
Resource intensification will be associated with the development of social inequality.
Note
Two measures were used for resource intensification. Intensive agriculture had a direct significant correlation (direct effect size=1.032) with the development of social inequality, while reliance on large domesticated animals was indirectly more significant (indirect effect size=-0.719).
