Interesting commentary here, looking at age division of labour in #huntergatherers "More than the sum of its sexes" — on embodied capital & age-structured labour in forager economies.

New research with the Hadza challenges the “noble generosity” model of forager egalitarianism. Equality emerged in experiments only when people could take what they felt was owed — not when they were asked to give. #HunterGatherers #HumanEvolution #BehavioralAnthropology https://www.anthropology.net/p/hadza-hunter-gatherers-share-food

The Stone Age family was wider than we assumed. #AncientDNA #Archaeogenetics #HunterGatherers https://www.anthropology.net/p/who-gets-buried-together-on-a-stone
Who Gets Buried Together on a Stone Age Island
