In this volume, the authors present an original ethnographic study
of five llama herding communities in Ayacucho, Peru. Data on herd
dynamics are subjected to computer modeling in an effort to
evaluate the roles of biology, symbolic and ritual behavior,
ecological adaptation, and practical reason. The book contains the
most detailed study of the waytakuy llama marking ceremony yet
available. The role of this ceremony in preventing herds from going
to extinction is evaluated against anthropological and
sociobiological theory. This is an interdisciplinary book will
appeal to professional archaeologists, prehistorians, cultural
anthropologists, Andeanists, theoretical biologists, evolutionary
biologists, and zoologists interested in animal domestication.
