This book explores the relationship between prehistoric people and
their food - what they ate, why they ate it and how researchers
have pieced together the story of past foodways from material
traces. Contemporary human food traditions encompass a seemingly
infinite variety, but all are essentially strategies for meeting
basic nutritional needs developed over millions of years. Humans
are designed by evolution to adjust our feeding behaviour and food
technology to meet the demands of a wide range of environments
through a combination of social and experiential learning. In this
book, Kristen J. Gremillion demonstrates how these evolutionary
processes have shaped the diversification of human diet over
several million years of prehistory. She draws on evidence
extracted from the material remains that provide the only direct
evidence of how people procured, prepared, presented and consumed
food in prehistoric times.
