3. The relative underrepresentation of anthropologists in this literature has had
the result that for groups of intermediate size, the role in social construction of one
of our group’s favorite topics—kinship—has been slighted. Early on, Marshall Sahlins
(among many others) recognized that kinship provides the model for political relationships
in small-scale societies (e.g., 1961: 333)—indeed, it is the political system. But
kinship, too, eventually fails as a construction principle as groups increase in size.
