Yes. This is true. No real reason to post it, other than who else am I going to tell about this?Anthropologists call it partible paternity. Traditionally, it is believed that each guy who ducks a pregnant girl contributed to the paternity of the kid, while this is bullshit, it leads to a feeling of moral obligation to help provide for it, leading to higher rates of childhood survival.
Not just the Bari tribe either. Apparently the belief and the custom is widespread throughout the Amazon basin, with at least 18 distinct cultures reported to practice it.
