The Hadza are hunter-gatherers who number approximately 1000 and who live a savanna-woodland habitat around Lake Eyasi in northern Tanzania. They live in mobile camps that average 30 individuals. Camp membership often changes as people move in and out of camps, and camps move about every 6 weeks or so.
Hadza men usually go foraging alone, hunting birds and mammals with bows and arrows and collecting honey. Hadza women mainly collect baobab, gather berries, and dig tubers. Both men and women bring food back to camp to share with others. HGP member team member Colette Berbesque is investigating how the Hadza think about generosity and their networks of food sharing and other types of helping.
