Environment of individuals, which includes other individuals, is the focus of a study of 61 communities on the island of Dominica. The working hypothesis is that communities with richer and more exploitable environmental resources will be more internally developed or economically differentiated. Environmental variables are government aid, external cash income, and population size. Economic differentiation is measured by the systemic variables of vocational distribution, vocational specialization, and commercialization. The Dominican data support the working hypothesis and suggest that environmental modification causes differentiation of the economic system
