Unlike other primate males, men invest substantial effort in producing food that is consumed by others. The Hunting Hypothesis proposes this pattern evolved in early Homo when ancestral mothers began relying on their mates’ hunting to provision dependent offspring. Evidence for this idea comes from hunter-gatherer ethnography, but data we collected in the 1980s among East African Hadza do not support it. There, men targeted big game to the near exclusion of other prey even though they were…

Hunter-gatherer males are more risk-seeking than females, even in late childhood
Toward a Reality-Based Understanding of Hadza Men’s Work
Observations of Hadza men foraging out of camp and sharing food in camp show that men seeking to maximize the flow of calories to their families should pursue large game, and that hunting large game…
Signals from the Hunt: Widening the Spectrum on Male Pursuits of Dangerous Animals
TLDR
In contexts where subsistence is not an articulated motivation for hunting, it is argued that benefits accrued through male-to-male signaling and resulting status as measured through prestige and dominance could be a key component of social hierarchies and, ultimately, fitness outcomes.
Why Males Compete Rather Than Care, with an Application to Supplying Collective Goods.
TLDR
A simple dynamic model is presented to investigate the benefits of these two alternative fitness-enhancing pathways and demonstrates that allocation to competition gives males greater fitness than offspring care for a range of circumstances that are dependent on life-history parameters and, for the large-game hunting application, frequency dependent.
To the hunter go the spoils? No evidence of nutritional benefit to being or marrying a well-reputed Hadza hunter.
TLDR
The absence of an association between hunting reputation and nutritional status is consistent with generalized food sharing and adds to a substantial corpus of existing research that identifies few nutritional advantages to being or marrying a well-reputed Hadza hunter.
Costly signaling and the handicap principle in hunter‐gatherer research: A critical review
TLDR
Here a review of honest signaling theory in both hunter‐gatherer studies and zoology highlights three issues with the costly signaling literature in hunter‐gather studies: an overemphasis on the demonstration of realized costs, a lack of clear predictions about what specific qualities hunting actually signals, and an insufficient focus on the broadcast effectiveness of hunting and its value as a heuristics for signal recipients.
The Centrality of Ancestral Grandmothering in Human Evolution
TLDR
Ancestral grandmothering has become a serious contender to explain not only the large fraction of post-fertile years women live and children's prolonged maturation yet early weaning but it also promises to help account for the pair bonding that distinguishes humans from the authors' closest living evolutionary cousins, the great apes, the evolution of their big human brains, and their distinctive preoccupation with reputations, shared intentionality and persistent cultural learning that begins in infancy.
Diversity in Human Behavioral Ecology
TLDR
This special issue of Human Nature covers a diversity of topics in modern and traditional societies that include the goals of hunting in foraging societies, social bias, cooperative breeding, the impact of war on women, leadership, and social mobility, which demonstrate the utility of selectionist's thinking on a wide variety of topics.
Sex Differences in Competitiveness: Hunter-Gatherer Women and Girls Compete Less in Gender-Neutral and Male-Centric Tasks
Despite numerous attempts to increase workplace equality, the near universal gender wage gap and underrepresentation of women in high status jobs persists in societies around the world. This…
Origins of the Human Predatory Pattern: The Transition to Large-Animal Exploitation by Early Hominins
TLDR
The regular exploitation of large-animal resources—the “human predatory pattern”—began with an emphasis on percussion-based scavenging of inside-bone nutrients, independent of the emergence of flaked stone tool use, leading to a series of empirical test implications that differ from previous “meat-eating” origins scenarios.

Why Do Men Hunt?
TLDR
It is shown that there is little empirical support for the view that men hunt for signaling benefits alone, and a framework incorporating trade‐offs between mating and subsistence strategies in an economic bargaining context is presented that contributes to understanding men’s and women's roles in hunter‐gatherer societies.

Household and Kin Provisioning by Hadza Men
TLDR
Family provisioning is a more viable explanation for why good hunters are preferred as husbands and have higher fertility than others, and a model of the relationship between hunting success and household food consumption indicates that the best hunters provided 3–4 times the amount of food to their families than median or poor hunters.

Hunting income patterns among the Hadza: big game, common goods, foraging goals and the evolution of the human diet.
TLDR
Experimental data is reported showing that hunters would reduce their mean rates if they included small animals in the array they target, and finding that an exclusive focus on large game with extensive sharing is not the optimal strategy for hunters concerned with maximizing their own chances of eating meat.
Family Provisioning Is Not the Only Reason Men Hunt
Gurven and Hill (2009) ask, “Why do men hunt?” As they say, “The observation that men hunt and women gather supported the simplistic view of marriage as a cooperative enterprise. Greater…
Male strategies and Plio-Pleistocene archaeology.
TLDR
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.
