AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source reports the results of the administration of a culture-fair test of cognitive ability ('intelligence') to seven groups of adult male Orokaiva. The author found significant differences in the test results of the groups, and suggests that the most productive individuals, as defined by their ownership of cash crop trees, tend to have higher test scores.
