Children of the Dancing Ground, Children of the House
The arid land occupied by the South Turkana in northwestern Kenya is characterized by relatively well distributed water resources, complex vegetation communities, and low-density patches of forage which vary with low predictability in time and space. The people's coping strategies include a high dependence on livestock, use of multiple pathways of food energy transfer from plants through livestock to people, and extreme nomadism both to provide h…
The Universality of African Marriage Reconsidered
Comparative research on marriage patterns in sub-Saharan Africa described marriage as both early and nearly universal (van de Walle 1968). Subsequent studies have partially disproved the first generalization by demonstrating the existence of substantial regional and ethnic variations in age at first marriage (Kaufmann et al. 1988; Lesthaeghe et al. 1989; United Nations 1990). The premise that marriage is universal, however, has generally not been…

Rethinking Human Adaptation
Anthropological Applications of Optimal Foraging Theory
Recent applications of models of optimal foraging behavior to human foraging economies are summarized and evaluated. These models predict patterns of prey choice, habitat use, time allocation, settlement pattern, and foraging group size that will maximize some objective currency (such as the net rate of energy capture while foraging) under the constraints of resource characteristics and forager capabilities pertaining to a particular situation. I…

Nomadic Pastoralism
Human Territoriality
The question of human territoriality has frequently been debated, but most previous discussions have not sufficiently emphasized ecological variables as major factors determining territoriality. We argue that current theories in sociobiology, especially the model focusing on economic defendability of resources, need to be considered in analyzing human territoriality. According to this model, territoriality is expected to occur when critical resou…
Food‐sharing among young children
A study of food‐sharing among young children in a non‐experimental setting is reported. Boys and girls aged 5–8 years attending a city day camp were observed for a two‐week session. On the basis of daily observations of children in dyads, each child was ranked by the amount of his equal (peer) and unequal (dominant) relations with other members of his group. The nature, amount, and direction of food sharing was observed, and the relationship of e…
