Lévy Flights in Dobe Ju/'hoansi Foraging Patterns

We analyzed data on Ju/'hoansi hunter—gatherer foraging patterns and found that their movements between residence camps can be modeled as a Lévy flight. The step lengths of their movements scale as a power law with an exponent μ=1.97. Their wait times (residence times) at the camps also scale a...
