Isi artikel

Galton's problem, the issue of the effects of historical conenctions between societies based on their characteristics, has received much attention from cross - culturalists. The author reviews the three major repsonses to galton's problem and points out that each response treats it as a methodological difficulty. I argue that it would be more fruitful to reframe galton's problem as a substantive issue, for then cross - culturalists could develop a better understanding of the different kinds of connections among societies and their effects. Links between societies are important forces helping to shape life within each society. I support this arguement with examples on intersocietal trading of goods, labor exchanges, warfare and interbreeding.
