Feast : why humans share food

"In Feast, Martin Jones reconstructs the development of the meal, with the help of the latest archaeological techniques: from chimpanzees at a kill to university professors at a formal feast, from a Roman banquet to the TV dinner and the drive-through diner. Spanning half a million years, this account reveals the history of the meal and its huge impact both on the society and the ecology of the planet."--Jacket
