Some Major Problems in the Social Anthropology of Hunter-Gatherers [and Comments and Reply]

What is the relationship between the present-day hunter-gatherer studied by anthropologists and the societies of the Palaeolithic?

In attempting to answer these questions, this article takes into account a further problem, that of the uniqueness of Australian Aboriginal social organization.
