Ethno… (a group of people) graphy… (writing about or of) Revisited and Revised…
“ These peoples (foragers) , despite their cultural and geographic diversity, have a  core of features in common , and this core of features represents the  basic human adaptation stripped of  the accretions and complications brought about by agriculture, urbanization, advanced technology, and national and class conflict – all of  the “advances” of the last few thousand years .”   (Lee 2003: 3) Echoes of 19 th  Century Social Evolution in Lee’s  Dobe Ju/’hoansi
A “Land Filled with Flies”* ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],*The land is “filled with flies because of cattle. Many San people are now and in the past were cattle herders.
“ I  no longer believe  that  studies of contemporary hunter-gatherers  are primarily a tool for  understanding the evolution of human behavior . Understanding hunter-gatherer ecology, however important, is not enough. One has to both build on it and transcend it by looking at adaptation in a much broader sense, including the  internal dynamics of foragers  and their  articulation with wider political economies .”  (Lee 2003: 195) Lee Revised (in response to criticisms)
