Table 4.

Testing alternative theories. This table shows parameter estimates (with p-values) for two alternative theories: historical pathogen prevalence (A) and the proportion of land that is cultivated, which tests farming in general, as opposed to rice farming in particular (B). All models include age, urbanization, 42 ethnic ancestry variables, latitude, longitude, temperature, distance to coast, GDP, history of herding and history of rebellion.
