Communal drive hunts have been a common form of game procurement worldwide; their function and origins, however, are largely unknown. Using a human behavioral ecology perspective, this study reevaluates communal drive hunts (CDH) as a long neglected form of subsistence. Previous studies of CDHs have generally been costs and benefits analysis linked to small prey. There is a potential for data, however, there are noticeable trends outlining the larger picture of CDHs. Readers should note that this article also includes comments and responses from outside researchers and members of this study.

This book investigates possession and possession-trance. While the author focuses on a case study of Haiti, there are also a handful of cross cultural tests performed. Results suggest that societal complexity is associated with belief in possession-trance, rather than possession alone.

This study examines the influence of the "child-adult" conflict on the frequency of drunkenness in a culture. In particular, the author examines the socio-psychological factors that can induce a child-adult conflict, claiming that this conflict may be more common when mothers are the primary dispensers of rewards.

This paper investigates five different economic types of foragers: classic, transitional system, politically oriented, economically oriented, and intangibles-oriented. The author asserts that these economic types “are not mere epiphenomena of the oft-discussed social structural or political forces but, rather, are special characteristics that must be independently taken into account” (418). A myriad of environmental, subsistence, political, and social variables are examined: some differed significantly across the five economic types of foragers, but others such as famine threat, conflict, locational fixity, marital form, and postmarital residence did not differ between types.
