Risk of resource failure and toolkit variation in small-scale farmers and herders. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Recent work suggests that global variation in toolkit structure among hunter-gatherers is driven by risk of resource failure such that as risk of resource failure increases, toolkits become more diverse and complex.
