| Summary: | "The twenty-six contributors to Hunter-Gatherer Childhoods use three general but complementary theoretical approaches - evolutionary, developmental, cultural - in their presentations of new and insightful ethnographic data. For instance, the authors employ these theoretical orientations to provide the first systematic studies of hunter-gatherer children's hunting, play, infant care by children, weaning and expressions of grief. The chapters focus on understanding the daily life experiences of children, and their views and feelings about their lives and cultural change."--BOOK JACKET. |
