Abstract

An accurate and flexible method for measuring cultural diffusion is presented. When the diffusion of pairs of traits is measured, the method constitutes a solution to Galton's problem. Application of the method to data on the association of patrilocal residence with patrilineal descent indicates that the association is based on diffusion rather than function.
