Take this with a huge grain of salt. Because i dont trust molecular clocks i think their dates are older than they appear.
And many statistcal distributions are overly reliant on priors.
Some effects tend to be overstated in small samples.
but for what is worth it seems the operative sexual ratio increased during the transition to agriculture then decresed again. Thic could be a proxy for violence.

Up to a point. But generaly if we asume violence is a function of economic base. Wether they are originaly horticulturalists or not would still mwan that such a base is caple of sustaining a more violent superstructure.
Or introduction of pigs and steel tools like in the case of the yanomame.
But the same can be said for more pure hunter gatheres who are on average more peaceful. The diference is that such a base has less potential to supprt violence.
