Analyzing the solar system abundances, we have found two empirical abundance scaling laws concerning the p- and s-nuclei with the same atomic number. They are evidence that the 27 p-nuclei are synthesized by the supernova γ-process. The scalings lead to a novel concept of ``universality of γ-process'' that the s/p and p/p ratios of nuclei produced by individual γ-processes are almost constant, respectively. We have calculated the ratios of materials produced by the γ-process based on core-collapse supernova explosion models under various astrophysical conditions and found that the scalings hold for individual γ-processes independent of the conditions assumed. The results further suggest an extended universality that the s/p ratios in the γ-process layers are not only constant but also centered on a specific value of 3. With this specific value and the scaling of the s/p ratios, we estimate that the ratios of the s-process abundance contributions from the AGB stars to the massive stars are almost 6.7 for the s-nuclei of A>90 in the solar system.
