Herd following reconsidered.

The author discusses his original argument in his findings of the article "The Caribou/Wild Reindeer as a Human Resource" in light of more up-to-date data on the trends of caribou/wild reindeer herd following by humans. The author argued that the people in northern Eurasia and northern North America could not follow caribou/wild reindeer herds because they could not keep up with them. After observing a Chipewyan group hunt the animals, the author changed his original views. However, his colleagues defended his 1972 article. The author concluded the paper by accepting the evidence of other researchers which showed his initial conclusions in 1972 to be wrong.
