- Synopsis
- Kelly (Anthropology, U. of Wyoming) describes the remarkably complex structures and practices of foraging cultures, such as those in which members store up good will to tide them over the times they cannot hunt or gather. After a solid introduction to the place of foraging societies in anthropology and anthropological theories about environment and evolution from an point of view, Kelly considers a range of aspects of foraging societies, describing studies on mobility, sharing and exchange, land tenure, group size and reproduction, the roles of men and women, egalitarian and non-egalitarian hunter-gatherers, and of the probable systems of foraging in prehistory.
