La caza en la evolución humana

The way in which hunters and hunters have managed to survive over time is thanks, in part, to the history of hunting as a fundamental element in food, but also thanks to the hunting techniques and methods that have led to Social relations. One of the most important aspects of our evolution has been how the different species of our genus have managed to survive. Food is in the substrate of all relationships that occur in the biotic world. Therefore, knowing and understanding it gives us the fundamental keys to human evolution. Without understanding the importance of food intake and how they are obtained, it is difficult to understand what is human. This book, coordinated by the famous specialists Antoni Canals-Salomó and Eudald Carbonell, delves into the most relevant aspects related to hunting in the development of the evolution of our species, from prehistory to the present day: The hunting species, the evolution of hunting brain, hunting as an economic strategy and social structure, hunting methods and techniques in the Pleistocene, hunting of large herbivores and animals of medium and small size, hunting in the Holocene, cannibalism, hunting as a symbolic universe , hunting in terms of gender and, finally, on current hunting and the hunter in the 21st century.
