The Lifeways of Hunter-Gatherers: The Foraging Spectrum

Description:

About this item:

In this book, Robert L. Kelly challenges the preconceptions that hunter-gatherers were Paleolithic relics living in a raw state of nature, instead crafting a position that emphasizes their diversity, and downplays attempts to model the original foraging lifeway or to use foragers to depict human nature stripped to its core. Kelly reviews the anthropological literature for variation among living foragers in terms of diet, mobility, sharing, land tenure, technology, exchange, male-female relations, division of labor, marriage, descent and political organization. Using the paradigm of human behavioral ecology, he analyzes the diversity in these areas and seeks to explain rather than explain away variability, and argues for an approach to prehistory that uses archaeological data to test theory rather than one that uses ethnographic analogy to reconstruct the past.

Review

'Using Latin America as a case study, Kaplan clearly explains the interplay between economics and politics in the international arena … A thoroughly analytical work with the potential to transform thinking about globalization and austerity measures worldwide. Summing up: highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate, graduate, research, and professional collections.' L. O. Imade, Choice

It's well organized and fascinating.

The Definitive Resource on Hunter Gatherers

M.V.P. · 23 November 2015

This is without doubt the most useful resource for a researcher with a need for a broad survey on the topic of hunter-gatherers. The data are clear and compiled into useful comparative forms. The findings are presented in historical context as anthropology morphed from a primarily linguistic study into one of sustainability. I wish there was a parallel for pastoral nomads.
