Hunting Gathering (Foraging)
Collecting food from their near by environment.
Like it was brought out in the introduction page, foraging (also known as hunting and gathering) is relying on food provided by nature through the gathering of plants, small animals, birds, and insects; savaging animals killed by other predators and hunting. Early humans survived liked this until 11,000 years ago when agriculture started taking place.
(Low Quality Video) This documentary shows you how the early humans used to live and provide for themselves. This video is taking in place in Central Africa where they still live the way the early humans did, we see that over the years their hunting skills became more and more useful and of greater importance, these men don't just study their pray they understand it because this is all they know. Hunt to Survive. A forager usually works about three hours each day to provide for his family and himself, and in the video it's brought out that he usually catches food to feed eight families, so we see over the years hunting and gathering has increased it's importance to these people, just like it did for the early humans thousands of years ago.
Developing Of Hunting
The early humans started to develop hunting slowly. When they first started foraging they probably scavenged meat that bad already been killed from another animal. They would drag the food to a safe place and use their stone tools to butcher the flesh and crack the bones for marrow. As they developed better weapons (as mentioned in the video above) and learned how to hunt together, they were able to kill much larger animals and come up with skillful ideas on ways to capture their prey.
Moving Frequently
Most foragers lived by moving frequently and making temporary encampments. They repeated seasonal movements based on animals migration or the ripening of different plants.Foragers usually lived with 15 to 30 people, and split further when food became scarce or when conflicts arose. The population grew very slowly and they only lived up to 30 years so that is why they traveled in such small groups.
This, just like the other video. Shows you modern day hunter-gatherers and their ways of living. Still, after thousands of years these people can still survive by using their environment that provides their needs and their means to survive. After thousands of years their hunting skills have become more advance and their weapon making become very well built. These people are living proof that agrarian civilization doesn't have to be the way of living.
