商品簡介
Editors Stanford (anthropology, U. of Southern California) and Bunn (anthropology, U. of Wisconsin) present 16 multidisciplinary contributions that address the questions surrounding when, how, and why early humans began to eat meat. The researchers, who study modern hunter-gatherers, nonhuman primates, and the human fossil integrate and discuss their perspectives in order to offer a thorough reconsideration of the role of hunting, scavenging, and the uses of meat in light of recent data and modern evolutionary theory. Topics include meat-eating and the fossil record, living nonhuman analogs for meat-eating, modern human foragers, and theoretical considerations. Annotation c.
