The ancestors of the Hualapai and Havasupai Indians were once hunters and gatherers, some of whom did a little farming during the summer. The basic adaptation was to a hunting and gathering life and this adaption included local groups of the classic type with a mean size of twenty-eight. This paper presents a theory which retrodicts and accounts for the range of local group sizes and their probabilities (frequencies
