The Agricultural Revolution in Prehistory addresses one of the most
debated and least understood revolutions in the history of our
species, the change from hunting and gathering to farming. Graeme
Barker takes a global view, and integrates a massive array of
information from archaeology and many other disciplines, including
anthropology, botany, climatology, genetics, linguistics, and
zoology. Against current orthodoxy, Barker develops a strong case
for the development of agricultural systems in many areas as
transformations in the life-ways of the indigenous forager
societies, and argues that these were as much changes in social
norms and ideologies as in ways of obtaining food. With a large
number of helpful line drawings and photographs as well as a
comprehensive bibliography, this authoritative study will appeal to
a wide general readership as well as to specialists in a variety of
fields.
