血亲复仇是部落社会中最常被引用的暴力和战争原因之一，但在最近的人类学原始战争理论中，它在很大程度上被忽视了。部落暴力的理论，显示如何杀人，复仇，亲属关系的义务，和战争的联系，为什么生殖变量必须包括在部落暴力和战争的解释。在过去23年中，对亚马孙雅诺马马印第安人的研究表明，估计25岁或以上的男性中有44%参与了杀人，大约30%的成年男性死亡是由于暴力，估计40岁以上的成年人中有近70%因暴力而失去了近亲。人口统计数据表明，杀人的男子比没有杀人的男子拥有更多的妻子和子女。
Blood revenge is one of the most commonly cited causes of violence and warfare in tribal societies, yet it is largely ignored in recent anthropological theories of primitive warfare. A theory of tribal violence is presented showing how homicide, revenge, kinship obligations, and warfare are linked and why reproductive variables must be included in explanations of tribal violence and warfare. Studies of the Yanomamö Indians of Amazonas during the past 23 years show that 44 percent of males estimated to be 25 or older have participated in the killing of someone, that approximately 30 percent of adult male deaths are due to violence, and that nearly 70 percent of all adults over an estimated 40 years of age have lost a close genetic relative due to violence. Demographic data indicate that men who have killed have more wives and offspring than men who have not killed.
