Abstract
The relationship between the complexity of a given society and family complexity is reexamined in the light of previous studies. Data are from an ethnographic atlas published in 1967. Treating family and marital structure as separate dimensions the author concludes that several components of societal complexity predict the occurrence of frequent polygyny much more effectively than they predict variation in family structure.
