Connection of mobility and foraging: A cross-cultural analysis

Abstract

The goal of this inquiry is to explore the existence and severity of the liaison inbetween mobility and cattle breeding. The author has decided to test the hypothesis of a relation between mobility and cattle breading through quantitative analysis of a cross-cultural data base. It is determined that there exists a statistically important bond between mobility and cattle breading in the economy. Although the connection is strong, a significant part of the variations can not be ascribed to cattle breading. It is suggested that the causes of mobility of cattle breading communities are complex and can partly be found in the climatic and ecological factors.
