The Evolution of Hunting and Gathering Societies

The authors continue writing as if this stuff breaks the mould of strawman anthropology. It was confusing enough that people like the namequara seemed to jump back and forth over the course of the year between economic categories. The kayen crow, asinebani or lacoda would appear to jump regularly from one end of the pot spectrum to the other. They were a kind of band state amalgam. And speaking of horses, here the authors get in their high horse mode. Scholarship does not always advance. Sometimes it slips backwards.
