Document Summary
Retrieval: explain how political economic structures constrain (but not determine) kinship organization ~ from han. One child policy flexibility within the policy (still options available - still variations) Options with child care, etc. so still constrained but lots of options available. Constraints limit options, but options are still available. We just have to know that this is not universal, but still understand the patterns* This chapter is a good example of the way biology is not a universal factor of kinship. Political and not only the universal factor behind kinship construction and behavior. Discuss how fox"s argument helps / fails to help move towards more biocultural and plastic view of kinship. Kinship can grow independently no matter the circumstances. Fox saw different biological traits and the ways different groups function primate kinship and how related to humans. The one male group and multi-male group are different cultures.
