abstract = {{While it is commonly assumed that farmers have higher, and foragers lower, fertility compared to populations practicing other forms of subsistence, robust supportive evi-dence is lacking. We tested whether subsistence activities{\textemdash}incorporating market inte-gration{\textemdash}are associated with fertility in 10,250 women from 27 small- scale societies and found considerable variation in fertility. This variation did not align with group- level subsistence typologies. Societies labeled as {\textquotedblleft}farmers{\textquotedblright} did not have higher fertility than others, while {\textquotedblleft}foragers{\textquotedblright} did not have lower fertility. However, at the individual level, we found strong evidence that fertility was positively associated with farming and moderate evidence of a negative relationship between foraging and fertility. Markers of market inte-gration were strongly negatively correlated with fertility. Despite strong cross- cultural evidence, these relationships were not consistent in all populations, highlighting the importance of the socioecological context, which likely influences the diverse mecha-nisms driving the relationship between fertility and subsistence.}},
