Hypothesis

Root and tuber crops will will positively correlate with the higher involvement of women in the subsistence activities (161).

Among societies whose major agricultural products are roots and tubers, the contribution that women make to subsistence activities is high, whereas this is not true for cultivators. See page 161 for results.
