Description
Hunting and gathering is humanity’s first and most successful adaptation, occupying
fully 90 per cent of human history. Until 12,000 years ago all humanity lived this way.
Surprisingly, in an increasingly urbanized and technological world dozens of hunting and
gathering societies have persisted and thrive on five continents. Case studies of over
fifty of the world’s hunting and gathering peoples, written by leading experts, tell a
story of resilience in the face of change, of ancient ways now combined with the trappings
of modernity. Divided into seven world regions, each section includes a regional
introduction and an archaeological overview. Thematic essays discuss prehistory, social
life, gender, music and art, health, religion and indigenous knowledge. The final section
surveys the complex histories of hunter-gatherers’ encounters with colonialism and the
State, and their ongoing struggles for dignity and human rights as part of the worldwide
movement of indigenous peoples.
