Edible Insects and Human Evolution J U L I E J. L E S N I K
• Instead of focusing on meat-eating, Lesnik traces evidence that humans and their hominin ancestors consumed insects throughout the entire course of human evolution. • Offers a unique feminist perspective, positing that women would likely spend more time foraging for and eating insects than men—a pattern important to note because women are too often ignored in reconstructions of ancient human behavior. • Notes that insects were a reliable food source that mothers used to feed their families over the past five million years. • Lesnik points out that insects are a highly nutritious and very sustainable food, arguing that if we accept edible insects as a part of the human legacy, we may have new conversations about what is good to eat— both in past diets and for the future of food. J U L I E J . L E S N I K is assistant professor of anthropology at Wayne State University. She organized the first U.S. conference dedicated to edible insects in Detroit in 2016.

• Tracing evidence of mind-altering substances across a diverse range of ancient cultures, this collection explores how and why past civilizations harvested, manufactured, and consumed drugs. • Investigation of psychoactive substances from a deep time perspective indicates a much earlier and widespread use by humans than previously thought. • Case studies examine the use of stimulants, narcotics, and depressants by hunter-gatherers who roamed Africa and Eurasia, prehistoric communities in North and South America, and Maya kings and queens. • Uncovering signs of drugs including ayahuasca, peyote, ephedra, cannabis, tobacco, yaupon, vilca, and maize and molle beer, the essays explain how psychoactive substances were integral to interpersonal relationships, religious practices, and social cohesion in antiquity.
