He challenges the traditional link between aggression and human predation, however, claiming that while aggressive attack is a perfectly efficient way for our chimpanzee cousins to kill prey, it was a hopeless tactic for early human hunters, who-in comparison to their large, potentially dangerous prey-were small, weak, and slow-footed. Technology that evolved from wooden spears to stone-tipped spears and ultimately to the bow and arrow increased the distance between predator and prey and facilitated an emotional detachment that allowed hunters to stalk and kill large game. Based on studies of humans and of other primates, as well as on fossil and archaeological evidence, Rough and Tumble offers a new perspective on human evolution by decoupling ideas of aggression and predation to build a more realistic understanding of what it is to be human. 606 $aHunting, Prehistoric 606 $aHunting and gathering societies 606 $aFossil hominids 606 $aHuman evolution 606 $aSocial evolution 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHunting, Prehistoric. 615 0$aHunting and gathering societies. 615 0$aFossil hominids. 615 0$aHuman evolution. 615 0$aSocial evolution. 676 $a599.9 700 $aPickering$b Travis Rayne$01032609 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462580203321 996 $aRough and tumble$92450577 997 $aUNINA
