In a work of painstaking and wide-ranging scholarship, backed up by
fieldwork among the Kalahari hunter-gatherers, Louis Liebenberg
explains how the art of tracking represents a crucial step in human
evolution. Liebenberg examines the principles of tracking, and the
classification and interpretation of spoor under difficult
conditions. He also shows how the original speculative hypotheses
of early hunter-gatherers have a direct line to the propositions of
modern physicists who track sub-atomic particles. In the book, the
author argues that the art of tracking involves the same
intellectual and creative abilities as physics and mathematics, and
may therefore represent the origin of science itself. The book has
been hailed as a real contribution to our understanding of the
complexity involved in the process by which indigenous peoples
track and hunt animals. It is insightful, detailed and well
articulated.
