Cohen argued that one would find sociocultural correlates between cultures with no contact but with resulting similar economic systems: what(cid:859)s a correlate, an association; when one variable changes, another does too. Similarities between unrelated societies could be the result of similar ways of producing, distributing, or consuming resources. Relies on natural resources for subsistence, rather than controlling plant and animal reproduction. Correlates to foraging include: band societies (100 or fewer people, nuclear family structures (parents + their children) Egalitarian (equal) relations between people, though gender-based differences. Pastoralism: pastoralism describes an adaptive strategy based on care of herds and domesticated animals. Movement oriented: focus on domesticated animals as food, pastoral nomadism, transhumance.
