What is a common characteristic of hunter-gatherer societies? cooperative behavior enforced by males but not females one female monopolizes reproduction (like cooperative breeders) limited food sharing only with kin (parent to offspring and back) conflict within groups, but cooperation between groups (a biological market) adults tend to have roughly equal power, privilege, and ability to have offspring (unlike meerkats)
