Prestige or Provisioning? A Test of Foraging Goals among the Hadza

Abstract

Tests of hypotheses concerning the foraging goals of Hadza men and women using an interview involving a hypothetical instance of foraging group formation show that most Hadza men and all Hadza women prefer to join foraging groups that ensure the greatest household provisioning advantages. Men with dependent offspring are no more likely to choose a strategy beneficial for household provisioning than men without dependent offspring. These results suggest that most Hadza men agree with womens camp preferences and value family provisioning more than broadcasting signals of their hunting ability when deciding with whom to live.
