As humans evolved they competed with other predators for food. They weren't the largest or the fastest but became the most intelligent and effective, developing the skill of tracking their prey using observation and deduction. There are people who still rely on these skills for their livelihood including the Kalahari Bushman of Africa, the Aborigines of arid Australia and the Inuit of the Arctic. From traditional tracking, the story moves to the application of tracking today in the detection of poachers, wildlife surveys, sport hunting and nature tourism. THE ART OF TRACKING is the story of 'nature's detectives', people who locate animals and gain a deep understanding of their behaviour by the tracks and signs they leave.
