| Title | The Evolution of Hominin Diets Integrating Approaches to the Study of Palaeolithic Subsistence / edited by Jean-Jacques Hublin, Michael P. Richards. |
| Physical Description | XIV, 270 p. online resource. |
| Series | Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology, 1877-9077 |
| Contents | The Diets of Non-human Primates: Frugivory, Food Processing, and Food Sharing -- The Energetics of Encephalization in Early Hominids -- Meals Versus Snacks and the Human Dentition and Diet During the Paleolithic -- Modern Human Physiology with Respect to Evolutionary Adaptations that Relate to Diet in the Past -- Hunting and Hunting Weapons of the Lower and Middle Paleolithic of Europe -- Neanderthal and Modern Human Diet in Eastern Europe -- Hominin Subsistence Patterns During the Middle and Late Paleolithic in Northwestern Europe -- Late Pleistocene Subsistence Strategies and Resource Intensification in Africa -- Seasonal Patterns of Prey Acquisition and Inter-group Competition During the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic of the Southern Caucasus -- Epipaleolithic Subsistence Intensification in the Southern Levant: The Faunal Evidence -- Paleolithic Diet and the Division of Labor in Mediterranean Eurasia -- Moving North: Archaeobotanical Evidence for Plant Diet in Middle and Upper Paleolithic Europe -- Diet in Early Hominin Species: A Paleoenvironmental Perspective -- The Impact of Projectile Weaponry on Late Pleistocene Hominin Evolution -- The Evolution of the Human Capacity for “Killing at a Distance”: The Human Fossil Evidence for the Evolution of Projectile Weaponry -- An Energetics Perspective on the Neandertal Record -- ?13C Values Reflect Aspects of Primate Ecology in Addition to Diet -- Increased Dietary Breadth in Early Hominin Evolution: Revisiting Arguments and Evidence with a Focus on Biogeochemical Contributions -- Neanderthal Dietary Habits: Review of the Isotopic Evidence -- Stable Isotope Evidence for European Upper Paleolithic Human Diets -- Erratum. |
| Summary | This volume brings together new and important research from the top experts in hominid diets across multiple fields. The objective of the volume is to explore if there is a consensus between the different methods, allowing us to better understand the nature of hominin dietary strategies through time. Contributions focus on modern studies, faunal studies, physical anthropology, archaeological studies, and isotopic studies, all aimed at answering the major questions of the evolution of hominid diets, such as: meat-eating emergence, hunting vs. scavenging, hunting technologies, and resource intensification in later humans. |
