Analyses of the ecology, biology and society of past and present-day hunter-gatherers are at the core of this interdisciplinary volume. Since the seminal work of Man the Hunter in 1968, new research in these three areas has become increasingly specialized, and the lines of communication among academic disciplines have all but broken down. This volume aims to reestablish an interdisciplinary debate, presenting critical issues commanding an ongoing interest in hunter-gatherer research, covering the evolution and history, demography, biology, technology, social organization, art, and language of diverse groups. As a reference text, this book will be useful to scholars and students of social anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology, and human sciences.

"This volume is informative, current, and well written. It is highly recommended to specialists in hunter-gatherer research as well as non-specialists and students desiring a broader understanding of the ecology, biology, and sociology of recent and past foragers." Western Book Review
"The editors of "Hunter-Gatherers" provide undergraduate and postgraduate students with a set of accessible and balanced reviews of topic, which are currently discussed. The volume is a very useful reference text for teachers and especially students of cultural and social anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology and human sciences." SAS Bulletin

Book Description
Since publication of the seminal work on hunter gatherers, Man the Hunter in 1968, research into hunter-gatherer populations and societies world-wide has become increasingly fragmented. Hunter-Gatherers: An Interdisciplinary Perspective attempts to stem this tide, giving reviews from a wide variety of disciplines to give a broad-brush view of diverse hunter-gatherer groups. Presenting issues from both the social and biological sciences, it will serve as a useful reference text for all those interested in social anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology and human sciences.
