Description

Foraging bands were the quintessential form of human social organization for the most of prehistory. Current arguments rage on the genesis of the contemporary descendants of these hunter-gatherers and their applicability to our understanding of lifeways before agriculture and domestication of animals. Sibel Barut Kusimba addresses this debate by synthesizing the archaeological evidence in Africa from the Middle Stone Age to the present, where the greatest time depth of foraging cultures can be traced. She develops a comprehensive picture of these foundational human societies, their social and technological adaptations to environmental conditions, and the impact of interaction from later economic systems on their lifeways. The book should be of importance to both cultural and archaeological anthropologists and their students.

Author Biography:

Sibel Kusimba is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Lawrence University. She conducted dissertation fieldwork at Lukenya Hill and has, since 1996, been studying interactions between hunters and others in Kenya's Tsavo region with Chapurukha Kusimba of The Field Museum and Joseph Mworia of the National Museums of Kenya.
