Revisiting hominin scavenging through the lens of optimal foraging theory
Journal of Human EvolutionScavenging has been a key topic in human evolution for decades, mainly focused on the 'hunting vs. scavenging' debate and the role of meat in the diet of early hominins. Scavenging is frequently considered a marginal activity by archaeologists; however, recent theoretical developments and experimental observations in the field of carrion ecology ...

It is generally accepted that the Marginal Value Theorem (MVT) describes optimal foraging strategies. Some research findings, however, indicate that in natural conditions foragers not always behave according to the MVT. To address this inconsistency, in a series of computer simulations, I examined the behaviour of four types of foragers having specific
