Book Description
Hunting and gathering is humanity's first and most successful adaptation. Until 12,000 years ago, all humanity lived this way. Surprisingly, in an increasingly urbanized and technological world dozens of hunting and gathering societies have persisted and thrive worldwide, resilient in the face of change, their ancient ways now combined with the trappings of modernity. The Encyclopedia is divided into three parts. The first contains case studies, by leading experts, of over fifty hunting and gathering peoples, in seven major world regions. There is a general introduction and an archaeological overview for each region. Part II contains thematic essays on prehistory, social life, gender, music and art, health, religion, and indigenous knowledge. The final part surveys the complex histories of hunter-gatherers' encounters with colonialism and the state, and their ongoing struggles for dignity and human rights as part of the worldwide movement of indigenous peoples.

Book Description
The Onge of Little Andaman, one of the surviving important Negrito com­munities in the world, have a very small static population since last four decades. There have been several critical issues pertaining to adopting the induced changes in their habitat and economy. The volume presents detailed documentation and in-depth analysis of the situation and concerns related to their survival. The volume is the outcome of a prolonged field investigation and research presented in the form of analytical and development ethnography with eco­logical, socio-cultural, economic and political perspectives of a dwindling community listed under Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group of India. The Onge have been rather vulnerable toward any option for radical change, they deserve close, careful attention to ward off any untoward impact of change-initiatives. The authors, a team composed of an Anthropologist and a Human Ecologist, have tried to throw light on the degree of agreements between the induced change programmes and the peoples’ age-old survival strategy. The depth of the authors’ intimate interaction with the people, their ecology, cultural niche, psychology, economy, and in a way the livelihood as such, presents a flavour hitherto unknown. The volume is remarkably enriched with good number of rare photographs along with important maps, charts and illustrations. This work is an invaluable record for reviewing and revising process and outcome of the long continued welfare programme before further such appli­cation on the remaining groups in the archipelago. The local and global level researchers, teachers and planners, interested in foraging tribal popu­lation and issues related to their welfare, development, etc., will certainly find this volume extremely useful.

Book Description
The People of India project, a massive exercise carried out by the Anthropological Survey of India, has generated a wealth of information on the hundreds of communities, castes and tribes which exist in this country. The subjects covered include culture, society, location, language, script,biological variation, educational level, impact of devlopment, food habits, rituals, and work practices.The present volume comprises all the material which was collected on the existing biological information available for nearly 900 Indian communities. The material was gathered from the All India Anthropometric Survey and the All India Bio-Anthropological Surveys conducted by the AnthropologicalSurvey of India.The larger set of quantitative data is contained in tables within this volume which deal with somatometry, dermatoglyphics, blood groups, serum proteins, biochemical variants and various genetic traits. A major finding of this exercise is the heterogeneity of biological traits, and the pattern oftheir distribution across social categories and territories. The data also suggests that much ground still remains to be covered vis-a-vis biological on India - in sharp contrast to the cultural and linguistic material that the Survey has now made available.
