How did hunter-gatherers effect the Industrial Revolution?

Answer 1

there were 3 different human eras:hunter gatherers, agricultural, and the industrial revolution. hunters and gatherers survived by following herds and plant growth patterns, so they moved around often. the population barely increased, because the more people they had, the more food they would need. how easy do you think it would be to hunt a bison? why don't you go try it? yea, not so easy.

the agricultural era was when we started to get ourselves together. we grew our own crops and domesticated animals. that's when our population started to increase at a faster rate, so we decided to start burying the deceased.

then the industrial revolution. everyone went to the cities to find work because the factories were built and put the cottege industry out of buisness. the factories polluted the cities heavily and population spiked because we were able to make the stuff we needed faster and cheaper. also, the more kids you had the more people you had to work for you. (and a little while after this era started, child labor laws were enforced)

i didnt really answer your question because there is no answer. these eras just happened pretty much. hunter gatherers didnt really effect the industrial revolution. society effected it.

Answer 2

Hunter-gatherer societies did not directly cause the Industrial Revolution. However, their way of life as foragers influenced early human societies in terms of resource utilization and communal living. This understanding of resource management may have influenced later societies as they transitioned to agriculture and eventually to industrialization.
