Food supply uncertainty among the Aka Pygmies (Lobaye, C.A.R.)
Résumé
In this paper I attempt to determine what is liable to vary in the food supply of Aka hunter-gatherers living in the Central African Forest and also to define what the range of variation may be. The notion of uncertainty implies both unpredictability and variability. Seasonality is distinguished from unpredictability, since these terms do not seem to me necessarily related. Such a distinction indicates that the Forest is not homogeneous but subject to variations, a situation which creates problems that forest dwellers must cope with. Are their solutions technical or social? Since these problems do exist, to what extent can we speak of constraints?
