Glynn Isaac

Glynn Isaac es recordado por una serie de artículos en los que intentó combinar el registro arqueológico disponible con modelos del comportamiento y la actividad humana desde el punto de vista de la evolución. A inicios de los años setenta, Isaac publicó un artículo sobre la importancia de las relaciones sociales, la recolección, el consumo de carne y otros factores en la evolución humana y propuso una serie de modelos para examinar cómo los grupos humanos del Paleolítico se habrían organizado para suplir sus necesidades, interactuando entre ellos. Los modelos de Glynn Isaac se centraron en el concepto de campamento base (home base) y en la importancia de la división sexual del trabajo en la organización social de los homínidos.
