Using life history analysis, Howell reinterprets this rich material to address the question of how these hunter-gatherers maintain their notably good health from childhood through old age in the Kalahari's harsh environment. She divides the population into life history stages that correlate with estimated chronological ages and demonstrates how and why they survive, even thrive, on a modest allotment of calories. She describes how surplus food is produced and distributed, and she considers both the motives for the generous sharing she has observed among the Dobe  Kung and some evolutionary implications of that behavior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Howell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520262344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520262348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Nancy Howell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056217026815,"sku":"9780520262348","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25f8e53a-2ac7-462b-963d-fc16b954efef.jpg?v=1685040144","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/life-histories-of-the-dobe-nancy-howell-9780520262348","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
