The authors use a cross-cultural framework and empirical data to test whether culturally transmitted and individually appropriated knowledge provides returns in terms of hunting yields, health, and nutritional status in three subsistence-oriented societies. Findings suggest that local environmental knowledge is related to individual hunting returns and self-reported health but not to nutritional status.
