Carefully balancing theory and detailed empirical study, and drawing from a series of ethnographic and archaeological case studies from eleven locations-including North and South America, Mesoamerica, Europe, the Near East, Africa, and the Pacific-the contributors to this volume examine the transition from hunting and gathering to farming and herding using a broad set of analytical models and concepts. These include diet breadth, central place foraging, ideal free distribution, discounting, risk sensitivity, population ecology, and costly signaling. An introductory chapter both charts the basics of the theory and notes areas of rapid advance in our understanding of how human subsistence systems evolve. Two concluding chapters by senior archaeologists reflect on the potential for human behavioral ecology to explain domestication and the transition from foraging to farming. 410 0$aOrigins of Human Behavior and Culture 606 $aAgriculture$xOrigin 606 $aAgriculture, Prehistoric 606 $aHuman behavior 606 $aHuman ecology 606 $aHuman evolution 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAgriculture$xOrigin. 615 0$aAgriculture, Prehistoric. 615 0$aHuman behavior. 615 0$aHuman ecology. 615 0$aHuman evolution. 676 $a306.3/64 701 $aKennett$b Douglas J$01042889 701 $aWinterhalder$b Bruce$01056032 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450208003321 996 $aBehavioral ecology and the transition to agriculture$92490063 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01316oam 22002891 450 001 9910637196003321 005 20230609132146.0 035 $a(Uk-CbPIL)pld-Z000048510 035 $a(Uk-CbPIL)Z000048510 035 $a(CKB)5500000000176157 035 $a(EXLCZ)995500000000176157 100 $a20140506e19961849 uy | 101 0 $alat 135 $aurnn|nnnunaan 200 10$aPatrologiae Cursus Completus, sive bibliotheca universalis ... omnium S.S.
