AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Originally presented as a thesis in 1956, this publication was supplemented and revised as a result of Turnbull's 1957-58 field experience. In one major respect it is a valuable addition to Turnbull's existing corpus of work: it offers extensive comparison of net-hunters, on whom Turnbull has concentrated, with the archer Mbuti, Schebesta's prime source.
