| Research Abstract |
It is assumed that there is two adaptive strategies among East African pastoral societies. One is collectivity-centric strategy.Pastoral production is stabilized through the cooperation among small-scale family groups within the framework of more corporage patrilineal descent group. This typical example seems to be recognized among the East Cushitic mono-resource-based pastoral people peoples,such as the Rendille,Borana,and Gabra peoples.
The other is individuality-centric strategy.Pastoral production is maintained by the maximization of indivedual family size and its herd size with a setting of less corporate patrilineal descent group.This typical example seems to be recognized among the Central Para-Nilotic multi-resouce- based pastoral peoples,such as the Karimojong,Jie,and Turkana peoples.
Moreover,within the framework of this hypothesis,the Southern Para-Nilotic pastoral peoples, such as the Datoga,Masai,and Samburu peoples,are thought to take an intermediate position between the two typical adative strategies above-mentioned.
Firstly,this hypothesis that there is contrasting two socio-ecological adaptive strategies among the East African pastoral socienties have to ve verified by collecing concrete and quantitative data on stock-transfer system,long-term demographic structure of human group and livestock herd and cultural complex of livestock.Secondly,it has to be verified by cross-cultural comparison within para-Nilotic peoples and within East Cushitic peoples,then between the both linguistic major groups.
In this project,six Japanese scholars and one Kenyan scholar conducted their field surveys among the Turkana,Samburu,Chamus(Jemps),Rendille,Gabra,and Borana peoples.
