AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This essay discusses criticisms of Wolf's thesis that sim-pua (marriage to an adopted sister) matches are lower in fertility because the spouses are sexually uninterested in one another. Wolf uses statistical comparisons of age and fertility among various classes of married persons to argue his point.
