1. Describe foraging as a subsistence strategy, citing specific examples
from the Washo and Dobe Ju/’hoansi.
2. Identify the adaptive features of technology and food procurement
found in an ethnography assigned for class reading. How closely do these features match the general features of the adaptive strategy of foraging outlined in this chapter?
3. Discuss how the three components of technology aid you to keep warm
during winter months so that you don’t die of hypothermia.
4. Compare and contrast generalized and balanced reciprocity. Cite a
specific example of each from your own experience and cite one from an ethnographic account.
