  3. New research with the Hadza challenges the “noble generosity” model of forager egalitarianism. Equality emerged in experiments only when people could take what they felt was owed — not when they were asked to give. #HunterGatherers #HumanEvolution #BehavioralAnthropology anthropology.net/p/hadza-hunte

  4. Charred residues on 6,000-year-old pottery are revealing prehistoric European “recipes” — guelder rose berries with fish, greens with cyprinids, tubers alongside dairy. Forager cuisine was more intentional than we thought. #Archaeology #Prehistory #HunterGatherers anthropology.net/p/what-was-ac

  5. Ancient DNA from a 5,500-year-old hunter-gatherer cemetery on Gotland shows people buried together were kin, but often second- or third-degree relatives, not parents and children. The Stone Age family was wider than we assumed. #AncientDNA #Archaeogenetics #HunterGatherers anthropology.net/p/who-gets-bu

  6. 🐦🥱 Ah yes, because nothing says cutting-edge anthropology like a 400 Bad Request error. Clearly, ancient Patagonian server security was way ahead of its time, blocking all access to any meaningful information. If only their hunter-gatherers had a helpline for their own glitches. 🙄

  14. Blog: #IndigenousPeoples are the custodians and protectors of our earth

    09 August 2024

    By Akil Crichlow, et al.

    "Over 3.3 billion people are highly vulnerable to climate change, with socioeconomic factors like gender, class, race, clanship, and ethnicity exacerbating this, particularly for women, children in low-income households, and #IndigenousPeoples.

    "Therefore, it is critical that an all-of-society approach is strengthened so that we mitigate and adapt to the impacts of a changing climate, recover lost #biodiversity and degraded land, and deploy an #ecosystem-based adaptation model."

    [...]

    "Across the Atlantic, to #Tanzania in #EastAfrica, pastoralists are another of the Commonwealth’s Indigenous peoples. They include the #Barabaig and the #Maasai, as well as #huntergatherers like the #Hadzabe, #Akiye and #Sandawe.

    "These groups lead diverse livelihoods but share a profound connection to the land. However, they face significant challenges regarding land tenure security. Despite the challenges, hope is not lost."
