McGrew begins by applying sociobiological ideas to chimpanzee data for a speculative reconstruction of our past.  Adrienne L. Zihlman widens this discussion to include data from biology, anatomy, and living peoples.  Four chapters on contemporary foraging societies follow: Agnes A. Estioko Griffin and P.
