AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article discusses the structural and psychological reasons for choosing FaSiSo as an addition to the cooperative work force of a 'descent line.' Although Schwartz only observed two such cases, he believes they are not unique and shed light on the operation of Chuukese society.
