Here is a reply I received: Thanks very much for your comments. I read the book and took notes about 25 years ago and don't now have a copy. Local universities do,and I will check your point which I'm sure I'll find correct. I must have missed that point. I welcome corrections, since I want to progressively polish the text, and plan to incorporate a correction when that chapter next appears on the web.

It is of course always a difficulty whether actual percentages in societies can be ever measured with complete accuracy, particularly cross-culturally. That is why I preferred to concentrate on the point that there is huge variety in cultural sexual expression, and contrast that with the remarkable uniformity of the genetic estimates which are directly measured. Culture is a peculiar beast. Neil Whitehead
