What is Kalahari hunter-gatherers: studies of the ! Kung San and their neighbours about?

The !Kung are, or were, one of the last peoples on earth to live as humans did 10,000 years ago. They sustained what was once the universal mode of ancient human existence—hunting and gathering, mankind’s key to survival for at least a million years before the advent of agriculture.Since 1963, a team of researchers have employed their techniques and talents in a pioneering study of the way of life of the !Kung (a San- or Bushman-speaking people) of the northern Kalahari Desert in Botswana. Under the leadership of Irven DeVore and Richard B. Lee, the overall goal of the investigators has been to develop a composite and complete portrait of these people in relation to the evolution of human behavior and society. The result, as Sherwood L. Washburn states in his Foreword, provides “an ideal demonstration of what the science of anthropology can do.”Kalahari Hunter-Gatherers approaches its subject from many disciplines, judiciously combining sound scholarship with humanistic concerns. In addition to the ethnographic and ecological writings of the principal investigators, the other anthropologists contributing to this volume examine the biomedical and genetic parameters of the population
