The Paleoanthropology and Archaeology of Big-Game Hunting: Protein, Fat, or Politics? - Interdisciplinary Contributions to Archaeology
John D. Speth
Since its inception, paleoanthropology has considered energy and vital nutrients to be the motivation behind big-game hunting. This volume, however, argues the goals of big-game hunting were actually social and political -- increasing hunter's prestige and standing -- and that nutrition was an added bonus.
