This assumption has rarely been questioned, and seems intuitively obvious—meat is a nutrient-rich food with the ideal array of amino acids, and big animals provide meat in large, convenient packages. Through new research, the author of this volume provides a strong argument that the primary goals of big-game hunting were actually social and political—increasing hunter’s prestige and standing—and that the nutritional component was just an added bonus..Through a comprehensive, interdisciplinary research approach, the author examines the historical and current perceptions of protein as an important nutrient source, the biological impact of a high-protein diet and the evidence of this in the archaeological record, and provides a compelling reexamination of this long-held conclusion.This volume will be of interest to researchers in Archaeology, Evolutionary Biology, and Paleoanthropology, particularly those studying diet and nutrition. | | 出版日期 | Textbook 2010 | | 关键词 | Bioarchaeology; Diet; Hunter-Gatherers; Nutrition; amines; amino acids; evolution; evolutionary biology; pal | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4419-6733-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4614-2674-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4419-6733-6Series ISSN 1568-2722 Series E-ISSN 2730-6984 | | issn_series | 1568-2722 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York 2010 |
