A society who lives from edible plants and animals from the wild, by foraging and hunting
Real World Example
Hunter-gatherers were the first way humans lived, relying on hunting animals and gathering plants for food. This lifestyle was crucial for survival before agriculture, as it responded to the need to find food in the wild. It allowed early humans to adapt to different environments and develop tools and social structures. Today, this concept matters because it highlights the importance of sustainable living and resourcefulness. For example, people who enjoy foraging for mushrooms or berries in forests connect to their hunter-gatherer roots, fostering an appreciation for nature and self-sufficiency.
