Territoriality among the Bushmen in General and the !Ko in Particular

Abstract

During recent years several field works have either denied the existence of territoriality among hunters and gatherers in general and among Bushmen in particular or have minimized its significance amongst such peoples. Sahlins (1960), for example, in a generalization writes: The band territory is never exclusive. Individuals and families may shift from to group (81). Lee (1968) goes farther and not only denies the existence of territoriality but of bands as social units as well. Similar opinions are expressed by Woodburn (1968) for the Hadza Bushmen. I am much disturbed by such generalizations
