Summary
The history of hunting, from Stone Age hunter-gatherers to today’s sport hunters.
Hunting has a long history, beginning with our hominid ancestors. The invention of the spear allowed early humans to graduate from scavenging to actual hunting. The famous cave paintings at Lascaux show a meticulous knowledge of animal behavior and anatomy that only a hunter would have. This volume traces the evolution of hunting, from Stone Age hunting and gathering to today’s regulated sport hunting.
