What are Archaic Hunters and Gatherers?

What are the likenesses and differences between hunters and gatherers?

  • Answer:

    Hunters roamed in search of prey, a source of meat. Gatherers also roamed, in search of fruits and grains to harvest. Both provided food for the tribe. However, there was one big difference between them: plants didn't run away, and didn't try to kill you back. For that reason, hunters needed more speed, more endurance and better tools (i.e. weapons) than gatherers generally did. Eventually, gatherers evolved into farmers, raising both crops and domesticated food species. Hunters never really went away; though in most cultures hunting itself became just one job specialization out of many, and possibly even relegated to the status of an outdoor sport.
