There is a Brazilian tribe that create small villages of two big huts (hut #1 and hut #2) and each Hutt have a maximum capacity of 50 people. People of hut #1 can only marry people of hut #2 , and they move to the hut of the male family of the marriage. When the village 100 people or a Hutt get more than 50 people, they start another village with new two Hutt, and send only unmarried people there.
