The Hadza, an ethnic group indigenous to northern Tanzania, are one
of the few remaining hunter-gatherer populations. Archaeology shows
130,000 years of hunting and gathering in their land but Hadza are
rapidly losing areas vital to their way of life. This book offers a
unique opportunity to capture a disappearing lifestyle. Blurton
Jones interweaves data from ecology, demography and evolutionary
ecology to present a comprehensive analysis of the Hadza foragers.
Discussion centres on expansion of the adaptationist perspective
beyond topics customarily studied in human behavioural ecology, to
interpret a wider range of anthropological concepts. Analysing
behavioural aspects, with a specific focus on relationships and
their wider impact on the population, this book reports the
demographic consequences of different patterns of marriage and the
availability of helpers such as husbands, children, and
grandmothers. Essential for researchers and graduate students
alike, this book will challenge preconceptions of human
sociobiology.
