Hadza Women's Time Allocation, Offspring Provisioning, and the Evolution of Long Postmenopausal Life Spans

Extended provisioning of offspring and long postmenopausal life spans are characteristic of all modern humans but no other primates. These traits may have evolved in tandem. Analysis of relationships…

An alternative scenario is developed, that climate-driven adjustments in female foraging and food sharing practices, possibly involving tubers, favored significant changes in ancestral life history, morphology, and ecology leading to the appearance, spread and persistence of H. erectus.
Demography of the Hadza, an increasing and high density population of Savanna foragers.

The results of a census are described, and the estimation of age structure, survivorship, mean age of women at childbearing, number of live children, total population size and density, and rate of change since 1967 are described.
Antiquity of postreproductive life: Are there modern impacts on hunter‐gatherer postreproductive life spans?

Effects of the modern world on hunter‐gatherer adult mortality, with special reference to the Hadza, suggests that such effects are not sufficient to deny the existence of substantial life expectancy at the end of the childbearing career.

Collectively, Plio-Pleistocene site location and assemblage composition are consistent with the hypothesis that large carcasses were taken not for purposes of provisioning, but in the context of competitive male displays, suggesting that meat was consumed at or near the point of acquisition, not at home bases as the hunting hypothesis requires.
More Lessons from the Hadza about Men’s Work

Two studies are compared, similarities are identified, and it is shown that emphasis on big game results in collective benefits that would not be supplied if men foraged mainly to provision their own households, with implications for hypotheses about the deeper past.

Facial expressions and gestures seen in eight wild caught adult and three laboratory born stump-tailed macaques are described. Systematic observations, designed to show the association of these with…

This work came to longtime collaboration as evolutionary ecologists with shared focus on studying modern hunter-gatherers to guide hypotheses about human evolution to radically revised hypotheses each of us took for granted when they began.
