Hunter-gatherer Childhoods: Evolutionary, Developmental, and Cultural Perspectives

Michael E. Lamb,Barry S. Hewlett

This landmark collection of original papers aims to bridge critical gaps in our understanding of the lives, feelings, and development of hunter-gather children. While children represent 40-50 percent of most hunter-gatherer populations, little is known about their daily lives or their views of the worlds. The contributors to this volume address these dramatic gaps in ethnography and theory by bringing children to the forefront of field research. Top researchers from various parts of the world (Japan, U.S., Europe, Israel, India), actively working with children among the few remaining such populations in Asia, Africa and South America, provide provocative theoretical frameworks and rich ethnographic details from recent child-focused research.
