More than 99% of mankind's existence on Earth has been founded upon a hunting economy and a hunting settlement type of social life. Thus, our basic human institutions and behavior patterns have been formed in a social environment characterized by extensive sharing—an essential technique of survival among our hunting ancestors. This paper will present case material regarding such social phenomena, and will assert that these phenomena are basic to human nature. It will also attempt to place the data into a context of drastic sociocultural changes; finally, it will extend these findings to an assessment of an urgent—and quite general—survival problem of contemporary society: the task of creating new types and patterns of human sharing
