Description
Through case studies, the authors of Last Hunters provide a global perspective on contemporary research into the origins of agriculture. Exploring the pivotal questions of why and how hunting peoples became farmers, 11 distinguished archaeologists emphasize the importance of the resource-rich areas in which agriculture began, the complex social organizations already in place, the role of sedentism, and for some areas, the advent of economic intensification and competition.
