The Evolution of Hominin Diets Integrating Approaches to the Study of Palaeolithic Subsistence /

This volume brings together new and important research from the top experts in hominid diets across multiple fields. The objective of the volume is to explore if there is a consensus between the different methods, allowing us to better understand the nature of hominin dietary strategies through time...
