Read the following the passage and choose the correct answer.
Very few people in the mordern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural environment surrounding their homes This method of harvesting from nature’s provision is the oldest known subsistence strategy and has been practised for at least the last two millions years It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the
domestication of wild animals were introduced about 10,000 years ago
Because hunter- gatherers have fared poorly in comparision with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments , such as deserts and arcic wastelands In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability of plant life.Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting , and on fishing along the coasts and waterways.The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics ,on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies
Contemporary hunter- gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors We know from the observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile While the entire community camps in a central
location , a small party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp When the food in the area has become exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site We also notice seasonal migration patterns evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practised by
mankind during the Paleolithic Period
