Why Do Men Hunt ?
The role of men in hunter-gatherer societies has been subject to vigorous debate over the past 15 years. The proposal that men hunt wild game as a form of status signaling or “showing off” to provide reproductive benefits to the hunter challenges the traditional view that men hunt to provision their families. Two broad assumptions underlie the signaling view: (1) hunting is a poor means of obta...

متن کاملFamily Provisioning Is Not the Only Reason Men Hunt A Comment on Gurven and Hill
Gurven and Hill (2009) ask, “Why do men hunt?” As they say, “The observation that men hunt and women gather supported the simplistic view of marriage as a cooperative enterprise. Greater sophistication suggests that males may often be motivated by mating and status rather than offspring investment” (p. 60). We agree (e.g., Hawkes 1990, 1991; Hawkes et al. 1991, 2001a, 2001b). This is the revisi...
