Book
The Hadza
InThe Hadza, Frank Marlowe provides a quantitative ethnography of one of the last remaining societies of hunter-gatherers in the world. The Hadza, who inhabit an area of East Africa near the Serengeti and Olduvai Gorge, have long drawn the attention of anthropologists and archaeologists for maintaining a foraging lifestyle in a region that is key to understanding human origins. Marlowe ably applies his years of research with the Hadza to cover the traditional topics in ethnography-subsistence, material culture, religion, and social structure. But the book's unique contribution is to introduce readers to the more contemporary field of behavioral ecology, which attempts to understand human behavior from an evolutionary perspective. To that end,The Hadzaalso articulates the necessary background for readers whose exposure to human evolutionary theory is minimal.

\"The cultural and historical significance of hunting lies not in the hunt itself, but rather in the power of the images it produces. Pictorial evidence, beginning with the famous cave paintings in Altamira, suggests that man has long represented himself as a natural hunter-gatherer. This book explores modern images of the hunt, establishes their archaeology and explains their places, functions and strengths\"--Page 4 of cover.
