Daily Lives of Hunter-Gatherers
The first few textbook chapters discuss hunter-gatherer groups. What do you imagine their daily lives would have been like? How much leisure versus work time? Follow up by finding an ethnography online (a film about a cultural group – there are plenty on youtube) about a hunter-gatherer group and tell us which one you watched – Be sure to include the group(s) that it covered and how much leisure time they have. a film on “Eskimos” (Inuit peoples), the Australian Aborigines, !Kung/Bushmen, or Penan but there are others.
