The Hadza by Frank Marlowe
The Hadza, who inhabit an area of East Africa near the Serengeti and Olduvai Gorge, have long drawn the attention of anthropologists for maintaining a foraging lifestyle in a region that is key to understanding human origins. This title presents an ethnography of one of the last remaining societies of hunter-gatherers in the world.

It is the most important single source of information about the Hadza, and it is superb, combining many of the virtues of classical ethnography with rigorous quantitative description and experimental hypothesis testing.
