Cashdan, Elizabeth A. | On territoriality in hunter-gatherers | Cashdan's intention of using an evolutionary framework to examine cross-cultural variations in territorial defense is admirable, but her argument about the applicability of available models, her own model, and the data used to support it (CA 24:47-66) are all severely flawed. Specifically, Cashdan ... | Defense; Organisms; Behavior | 1983 |
