In This Book Robert L. Kelly Challenges The Preconceptions That Hunter-Gatherers Were Paleolithic Relics Living In A Raw State Of Nature Instead Crafting A Position That Emphasizes Their Diversity And Downplays Attempts To Model The Original Foraging Lifeway Or To Use Foragers To Depict Human Nature Stripped To Its Core. Kelly Reviews The Anthropological Literature For Variation Among Living Foragers In Terms Of Diet Mobility Sharing Land Tenure Technology Exchange MaleFemale Relations Division Of Labor Marriage Descent And Political Organization. Using The Paradigm Of Human Behavioral Ecology He Analyzes The Diversity In These Areas And Seeks To Explain Rather Than Explain Away Variability And Argues For An Approach To Prehistory That Uses Archaeological Data To Test Theory Rather Than One That Uses Ethnographic Analogy To Reconstruct The Past.
