Abstract
This book is concerned with change and continuity in Hadza social organization and subsistence strategies, drawing on rich behavioral, ecological, anthropometric, demographic, and economic data collected by the author. Comparing the findings with similar data from the 1960s and 1970s, remarkably little change is found, especially in the social and technical organization of hunting and gathering. Although recognizing important changes brought by increased contact with neighboring ethnic groups, commercial tour operators, NGOs and researchers, the author underlines the centrality of continuity for understanding a range of issues in human cultural and biological evolution.
