Testing Predictions from the Hunter-Gatherer Hypothesis - 1: Sex Differences in the Motor Control of Hand and Arm (2007)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Geoff Sanders. Tom Walsh.

J. Whittaker: HGH = sex differences in task performance arose from natural selection favoring hunting-related skills in men and gathering related skills in women. Men should do better at throwing (arm muscles) and visual input from afar, women better at visual input from close, and fine hand manipulations. Test with computer cursor tracking test using hand or arm alone, and ball throwing and peg-board tests and find as predicted males do better with throwing and arms, females with hands and...

Testing Predictions from the Hunter-Gatherer Hypothesis - 2: Sex Differences in the Visual Processing of Near and Far Space (2007)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Geoff Sanders. Tom Walsh. Kamila Sinclair.

J. Whittaker: Laboratory based puzzle task in which participants saw their hands and puzzles in far or near space. Women performed better in near than far, men vice versa. Far and near space processed in ventral and dorsal cortical regions also known as “what” and “where” visual systems, so potentially sexually dimorphic cognitive abilities favored by evolution.

Throwing Fire: Projectile Technology Through History (2002)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alfred W Crosby.

J. Whittaker: Extended essay, reasonably well written, mostly accurate although superficial on details. Early sections favor Calvin’s theory of throwing as critical mental development [thankfully he only hints at Calvin’s handaxe throwing nonsense], and Bingham’s idea of group enforcement by throwing as promoting social development. Ethnographic accounts of remarkably accurate stone throwing. First spears at Schöningen 400,000 years ago. Upper Paleolithic - throwing stick or atlatl, adequate...

Several SW specimens described, mostly Utah, with some dimensions and a few illustrated. Snake and lightning symbolism. Spears - often cane, many wood foreshafts from Utah, with stone points, bone bunts, one hardened wood in cranium. Mentions some experiments with atlatl and fletching, but not described.

Translation of the summary of the Doctorate thesis of Ulrich Stodiek, "Zur Technologie der jungpalaolithischen Speerschleuder." (1994)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Martin Street.

J. Whittaker: Ethnographic survey, size ranges. Australian info: successful hunting range 10-30 m. Upper Paleolithic archaeological survey: 123 specimens of hook ends [which include the famous animal carvings, and some pieces considered by others to be complete]. Two hook types: hook, and hook + groove. Surviving pieces are too short to be complete, would be part of more complex tool. Reconstructions and experiments performed: Needed fletching on pine shafts with antler points. Flexibility...

The Tuning of Atlatl Darts (2002)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dick Baugh. David Wescott.

J. Whittaker: Force is not applied in a straight line, so dart must flex. If end kicks up, dart is too limber, if down, too stiff. Test before fletching. The harder you throw, the stiffer the dart should be. Fairly wide range is acceptable; well-tuned dart works for hard to moderate throw but kicks down for easy toss. Periodicity of dart vibration must match distance/time of throw. Flex of atlatl has little effect on “tuning” and flex of atlatl or dart contributes almost no energy to throw.
