MASCA
Vol. 12 Sup: Before Farming
Hunter-Gatherer Society and Subsistence
Douglas
V. Campana
Over
millions of years humans developed an increasingly varied set
of relationships with the plants and animals in their environment.
By the European Mesolithic and the Near Eastern Epi-paleolithic
the efficient exploitation of wild food resources had produced
a social and economic base that was ripe for the introduction
of domesticates. It is not the intent of this volume to again
discuss animal and plant domestication, but rather to focus
on the relationships of people to plants and animals before
the introduction of agriculture. |
