CARTA: The Evolution of Human Nutrition – Mary C. Stiner: Archaic Human Diets

from CARTA - Anthropogeny (Audio) · host UCTV: UC San Diego

At least three major transitions can be seen from the archaeological record of meat-eating. Mary Stiner (Univ of Arizona) explains how each of these transitions came with new labor and social arrangements that extended well beyond the mechanics of hunting. The transitions also relate to major changes in environmental carrying capacity and human population densities. These changes are predicated on new ways of capturing energy and insulating the group (especially children) from variation in the supplies of high quality food.
