Precis:  

Evaluating inferences about hominid meat-eating behaviours is the primary objective of this book. Many scholars consider these behaviours as critical features in human evolution. Most zooarchaeologists agree that butchery marks constitute the most reliable gauge of hominid involvement with animal bones. I focus on cut marks because experiments focused on their placement and frequencies produced by various butchery activities. Many reconstructions of hominid meat-eating behaviours were based on Binford’s observations of the Nunamiut. The primary shortcoming of the latter studies is that cut marks produced by different butchery activities were not separable into categories related to specific butchery activities, because several butchery procedures were performed on the same bones. The present study remedies this situation by separating butchery activities so that cut marks could unambiguously be assigned to specific butchery procedures. A revised inventory of cut marks and their associated behaviours is presented. Evaluating cut marks indicate that Early and Middle Stone Age hominins had different access to animal carcasses.

Archaeologist – Anthropologist – Faunal Specialist – Human Evolution

Richard’s work is highly influentual in, among others, archaeological and palaeontological circles around the world.  His methodologies developed for the analysis of animal bones from archaeological sites are in use since the early 1980’s.

Richard in the field on the West coast of the Western Cape, South Africa. No matter what the occasion, this is Richard's style.

Richard writes; “My primary interest is in the co-evolution of anatomy and behavior in human evolution.  My research is mainly on ancient animal remains as indicators of early human ability to make a living.  I have analyzed more than 100 assemblages of animal fossils, primarily from southern African archaeological sites dating between 700,000 years ago and the historic present.  I am currently directing excavations at a site 70 km NNW of Cape Town that dates from the Last Interglacial interval, between roughly 115,000 and 70,000 years ago.  The animal remains show that the inhabitants exploited coastal resources much less efficiently than people who occupied the same coast during Present Interglacial (Holocene). The change in foraging efficiency probably occurred about 50,000 years ago and it helps explain the simultaneous expansion of anatomically modern humans from Africa to Eurasia, where they replaced the Neanderthals and other non-modern Eurasians.”

The below is Richard’s “medium vita”.  When I opened the below file, I could not help wondering what the “high vita” looks like.
