- Reciprocal altruism, rather than kin selection, maintains nepotistic food transfers on an Ache reservation (2008, unknown): “Finally, generous individuals may attract a larger and healthier social support group (Wiessner 2002), which may provide more opportunities for cooperation and advantage in competitive interactions with other groups.”
- Behavioral Ecology and Archaeology (2006, background): “…low but consistent rates (e.g., plant foods) in favor of other resources (e.g., big game) that yield higher but much less reliable daily returns (Bliege Bird, 1999; Bliege Bird and Bird, 2005; Bliege Bird et al., 2001; Hawkes et al., 1991; Hill et al., 1987; Hurtado and Hill, 1989; Wiessner, 2002).”
- Evolutionary Foraging Models in Zooarchaeological Analysis: Recent Applications and Future Challenges (2007, background): “…anthropological literature is still quite limited on this subject, one way hunters signal good qualities and build social capital is by acquiring large, high-risk, and/or dangerous prey and by generously sharing the meat in a highly visible context (Hawkes et al. 1991; Smith 2004; Wiessner 2002).”
- When bigger is not better: The economics of hunting megafauna and its implications for Plio-Pleistocene hunter-gatherers (2016, background): “These individuals can benefit from nonconsumptive rewards such as access to mates, larger networks of allies and/or trading partners, increased popularity and political deference (e.g., Bliege Bird and Smith, 2005; Hawkes, 2000; Sosis, 2000; Weissner, 2002).”
- Upper-body strength predicts hunting reputation and reproductive success in Hadza hunter–gatherers (2014, background): “Women value hunting ability in mates (Marlowe, 2005), and the finding that good hunters experience greater reproductive success has now been reported in a number of societies including the Hadza (Hawkes, 2001; Marlowe, 1999), the Ache of Paraguay (Hill & Hurtado, 1996; Kaplan & Hill, 1985) and the !”
- 2. Evolutionary context of human development: the cooperative breeding model (2005, background): “The need to expand the number of available “kin” may help explain why classificatory kinship systems are so common, as well as why foragers place so much stock in trade networks and other reciprocal relationships (Wiessner 2002).”
- Prosocial signaling and cooperation among Martu hunters (2015, background): “As Lee goes on to explain, and as others have shown as well (Wiessner, 2002), sharing large quantities of meat can be met with thanks (instead of the chastisement Lee was subjected to) and can have positive outcomes for hunters if hunters share in ways consistent with the notion that they are distan”
- Teaching in Hunter-Gatherers (2018, methodology): “…and a variety of institutions have been described across hunter-gatherer cultures that limit the power and access to resources of single individuals, no matter how instrumentally valuable they are to the group (e.g. excellent big game hunters; Lee 1969; Lewis 2002; Wiessner 2002; Woodburn 1982).”
- Did climatic seasonality control late Quaternary artiodactyl densities in western North America (2008, background): “Finally, recent ethnographic research on men’s hunting goals (e.g., Hawkes, 1991, 1993; Wiessner, 2002), clearly underlines the overriding significance that hunters attach to prey body size: if large game are present on the landscape, male hunters persistently seek them out.”
