For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the longlasting themes and plot devices in fiction.

The Hadza diet consists mainly of honey, fruit and meat. Men often hunt in pairs to shoot animals with bows and arrows. The Hadza show us how to track animals, from baboons to snakes to lions.
