AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a quantitative study of endogamy among 15 villages on four massifs. Cazes examines the extent to which the Dogon practice endogamy within the i) lineage, ii) village, and iii) massif. Cazes concludes that geographical distances between villages and population sizes of villages influence marriage choice more than marriage rules.
