Historians rely on a combination of archaeological evidence, such as tools, art, and burial sites, to learn about hunter-gatherer societies. They also study ethnographic accounts from present-day hunter-gatherer groups and analyze historical records from early civilizations that interacted with hunter-gatherers. Additionally, researchers use isotopic analysis of human remains to understand diet and migration patterns.

What do you know about old stone age people?

Old Stone Age people, also known as Paleolithic people, were nomadic hunter-gatherers who lived between 2.5 million and 10,000 years ago. They used simple stone tools and had a basic social organization. Old Stone Age people relied on their environment for sustenance and survival, moving from place to place in search of food.


Why didn't hunters and gatherers settle?

Hunters and gatherers did not settle because they relied on the availability of wild plants and animals for food, which required them to move frequently in search of resources. Settling in one place would have limited their access to these resources. Additionally, their lifestyles were adapted to a nomadic existence, and they did not have the technology or social organization necessary for permanent settlements.


What were the major differences between people who lived in the Paleolithic period and those who lived in Neolithic period?

People in the Paleolithic period were mostly hunter-gatherers, while those in the Neolithic period were transitioning to agriculture and settled communities. Neolithic people also developed pottery, weaving, and domestication of animals, leading to more complex societies. Additionally, the Neolithic period saw the rise of permanent settlements and more advanced tools and technology.

Why do historians know little about great Zimbabwe?

Historians know everything there is to know about Zimbabwe and its predecessor nations then first called Rhodesia and Nyassaland and after that, Rhodesia. Its pre-colonial history is also reasonably well documented, starting with the rise of the kingdom of Mapungubwe in the 11th century. Since the peoples of the various pre-colonial kingdoms in the Zimbabwe region did not leave any written information of their own to posterity and historians, our knowledge is based on - and limited to - descriptions by others, mainly contemporary Arab and Portuguese traders.

What is a bushman?

Bushman are the indigenous people of S. Africa -- they are hunter-gatherers. In Botswana, they are officially called "Basarwa". It is said that they represent a unique isolated genetic group and many people believe that their ancestors predate genetic changes of the rest of humanity -- kinda referring to them as "genetic Adam" -- as in biblical Adam. Some people believe all humans can trace their genetic heritage back to this group. Whether its true or not, well, I don't know. But that's how I understand what the "bushman" are.
