Interesting thread by @ed_hagen on the "Man the Hunter" collection 60 years later, & the latest agitprop from the sadly politicized Scientific American.
What does the phrase Man the Hunter mean? It’s everywhere in popular discourse, but rarely defined. As a diverse group of hunter-gatherer scholars, we offer a new history and analysis of this controversial phrase. osf.io/preprints/osf/…
Interested in anthropology, health, and culture? Come to our Orang Asli zoom webinar next week! All are welcome. Dec 17, 8pm Malaysia time Register here: forms.office.com/r/cppLYZ5dBj
New episode (1022), with Dr. Vivek Venkataraman (@vivek_vasi). We talk about tree climbing, running, and hunting across human societies. #Anthropology #Science YouTube: youtu.be/QirFyPqN3e0 Podcast: bit.ly/3Ojpze0
Join my lab @DukeU @EvAnthDuke ! TWO postdoc positions: NIH projects in energy balance, physical activity, health outcomes & more. One with the Daasanach community in northern Kenya. One working with @AmboseliBaboons . Please share R/T! academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/29270
Man the Hunter (MTH) was a conference held at UChicago in April 1966. It gave rise to modern hunter-gatherer studies, but it has not been without controversy. To learn more about the history of MTH, I interviewed co-editor Richard B. Lee: osf.io/preprints/osf/… 🧵 below
“By allocating tasks, ancient humans supercharged their cooperative potential,” @vivek_vasi writes. Read more: loom.ly/A_CNnxs
The July 25, 1969 edition of Time Magazine featured a monumental event - the moon landing. Also featured in its pages is a review of the Man the Hunter volume, based on the 1966 conference.

I am fascinated by hunter-gatherer landscapes and how they change over time. A few weeks ago in Malaysia, I sought out a jungle camp occupied by the Batek over five decades ago.

Thank you to all the lovely folks at #AABA2024 I was thrilled to share me and @vivek_vasi’s newest project involving empirical testing of theories from past literature on the relationship between production rates and gender equality in small-scale societies :)
Very sad to hear that primatologist Frans de Waal has left us. In his honour, we remind you of some of our articles discussing his work.

Happy to share our new paper in Hunter Gatherer Research! The ecological and social context of women’s hunting in small-scale societies liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/10.3828/hg…
Man The Hunter should not accepted blindly, but is the strong male bias in hunting really a "myth"? Here is my plot of data from the most comprehensive data on individual hunting returns that I know, Koster et al. 2020: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/2

First, a shoutout to the excellent students who worked with me on this project: @_jordanhoffman_ and @TheFarqinator Here’s a picture of Jordie with their poster at the recent AABA’s in Reno
How long have we known about reports of women's hunting in foragers? Answer: a long time! This shows the number of paragraphs for given time periods (from HRAF)
