Title information![]() SPECIAL OFFER The Hunting ApesMeat Eating and the Origins of Human Behaviour Craig B Stanford
253 pages, b/w photos.Princeton University Press
What makes us the most successful animal species inhabiting the Earth today? Breaking away from popular scientific beliefs, the author presents an alternative based on recent, groundbreaking scientific observation. According to Stanford, what made humans unique was meat, or rather, the desire for meat, the eating of meat, the hunting of meat, and the sharing of meat. `With chapters on behavioural ecology, natural history and taphonomy, keeping company with the anthropology and palaeontology, Stanford's book summarises a huge body of evidence in a pleasing, coherent and non-polemical way. It is a rational piece of provocation from a scientist who clearly believes that there is something good at the core of a much-maligned theory.'Adrian Barnett, Biologist, Roehampton Institute, London Petzl Tikka Plus Headlamp Equipment (Black) | £32.50 | approx. $59/€41 Other products in Head Torches Pettersson D-240X Bat Detector Equipment | £1094.99 | approx. $1981/€1381 Other products in Time Expansion Bat Detectors WeatherWriter A4 Portrait Equipment | £27.99 | approx. $45/€35 Other products in Weatherwriter Waterproof Clipboards ![]() There are currently no organisations listed for this subject If you are involved in a scientific, conservation or environmental organisation and would like to be listed, please see our NHBS-Xchange information page. |
