Because of its extraordinary size and shape, the baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) has long been identified as the most striking tree of Africa?s mosaic savanna, the landscape generally regarded as the environment of hominin evolution. This book makes the case for identifying the baobab as the tree of life in the hunter-gatherer adaptation that was the economic foundation of hominin evolution. The argument is based on the significance of the baobab as a resource-rich environment for the Hadza of northeastern Tanzania, who continue to be successful hunter-gatherers of the African savanna. 606 $aPlant anatomy 606 $aPlant ecology 606 $aPlants$xDevelopment 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aPlant Anatomy and Morphology 606 $aPlant Ecology 606 $aPlant Development 606 $aPlant Physiology 606 $aEvolutionary Biology 606 $aAnthropology 615 0$aPlant anatomy. 615 0$aPlant ecology. 615 0$aPlants$xDevelopment. 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aEvolution (Biology) 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 14$aPlant Anatomy and Morphology. 615 24$aPlant Ecology. 615 24$aPlant Development. 615 24$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aEvolutionary Biology. 615 24$aAnthropology. 676 $a581.63 700 $aRashford$b John$01373402 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910734835203321 996 $aBaobab$93404483 997 $aUNINA
