First recorded use of cage traps by the Tanzanian Hadza: A case of cross-cultural transmission
While hunting is a critical subsistence strategy for the Tanzanian Hadza, reports of trapping have traditionally been minimal. Snare trapping of small ungulates and terrestrial birds is noted in rare cases, but most meat is acquired through encounter hunting, ambush hunting or nest predation. Except for these sporadic reports of snaring, other types of trapping are absent and cage trapping has, to our knowledge, never before been documented in ov…
Fiercely Egalitarian: Thematic Cross-Cultural Analysis Reveals Regularities in the Maintenance of Egalitarianism Across Four Independent African Hunter-Gatherer Groups
Globally, there are large disparities in wealth and political decision making power. By contrast, several African hunter-gatherer groups are considered exemplars of material and political egalitarianism. Whilst extant literature has revealed egalitarian maintenance mechanisms specific to individual communities, systematic cross-cultural analysis has been lacking. To better understand how egalitarianism is maintained, such ethnographic comparison …
Female foragers sometimes hunt, yet gendered divisions of labor are real: A comment on Anderson et al. (2023) The Myth of Man the Hunter
Did we all go together when we went? Considering the adaptive importance of risky joint action
Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author
A cost for signaling: Do Hadza hunter-gatherers forgo calories to show-off in an experimental context
Why hunt? Why gather? Why share? Hadza assessments of foraging and food-sharing motive
Do religious and market-based institutions promote cooperation in Hadza hunter-gatherers
Humans’ willingness to bear costs to benefit others is an evolutionary puzzle. Cultural group selection proposes a possible answer to this puzzle—cooperative norms and institutions proliferate due to group-level benefits. For instance, belief in knowledgeable, moralizing deities is theorized to decrease selfishness and favoritism through threat of supernatural punishment. Similarly, norms of fairness and cooperation are theorized to have coevolve…
Some omissions, few confusions. A reply to Pinheiro 2021
To the hunter go the spoils? No evidence of nutritional benefit to being or marrying a well‐reputed Hadza hunter
OBJECTIVES: The incentives underlying men's hunting acquisition patterns among foragers are much debated. Some argue that hunters preferentially channel foods to their households, others maintain that foods are widely redistributed. Debates have focused on the redistribution of foods brought to camp, though the proper interpretation of results is contested. Here we instead address this question using two nutritional variables, employed as proxies…

No Association between 2D: 4D Ratio and Hunting Success among Hadza Hunters
Costly signaling and the handicap principle in hunter‐gatherer research: A critical review
It has been argued that men's hunting in many forager groups is not, primarily, a means of family provisioning but is a costly way of signaling otherwise cryptic qualities related to hunting ability. Much literature concerning the signaling value of hunting draws links to Zahavi's handicap principle and the costly signaling literature in zoology. However, although nominally grounded in the same theoretical paradigm, these literatures have evolved…
A noisy signal: To what extent are Hadza hunting reputations predictive of actual hunting skills?
