AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source was written by an anthropologist with considerable experience among the San. While it contains some background material of a general and an historical nature, it deals primarily with the adaptation of the San to their environment, particularly in the realm of food-getting. Fifty photographs add to the value of the source.
