Description: This thesis is an exploration of the ongoing, dynamic processes which shaped hyena andhuman relations in a Muslim town in Ethiopia. These processes had their roots in worldprehistory; in millions of years of coexistence which is evidenced by the fossilisedremains of human and hyena ancestors. Whereas hyenas recently disappeared frommuch of their former range, they persisted in eastern Ethiopia and figure prominently inthe oral traditions and historical accounts of the walled city of Harar. At the time ofwriting, the hyenas of Harar combined with hyena feeders and tourists in processes inwhich two hyena feeding places were evolving along different lines.NOTE, The Illustrations are not available in this document.
