An analysis of 58 societies of modern hunter-gatherers, including the Kung of
southern Africa, revealed that one-half emphasize gathering plants foods,one-third concentrate on fishing, and only one-sixth are primarily hunters,
Overall, two-thirds and more of the hunter-gatherer’s calories come from 3plants. Detailed studies of the Kung by the food scientists at the University
