An introduction to Hadza ecology
Man the hunter • Chicago • Published In 1968 • Pages: 49-55
By: Woodburn, James.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document argues that the Hazda people have a sufficient and nutritionally-adequate food supply, despite popular beliefs that hunting and gathering communities live on the verge of starvation. Yet, for the Hadza there is never any general shortage of food, even in time of drought. The environment is rich with a variety of easily-acquired plants and animals, and both adults and children are well-equipped with the knowledge and tools to do so whenever they feel hungry.
