This paper addresses itself to predicting variation in residence in a world wide sample of hunter-gatherers. The findings indicate that some subsist ence, demographic, and social environmental factors, suggested by previous theory and research, predict the tendency toward patrilocality versus matrilocality and the tendency toward unilocality versus bilocality. Im plications for the reconstruction of hunter-gatherer life in the Paleolithic are briefly discussed.
