What the hunter-gatherers do with a digging stick?

Hunter-gatherers use digging sticks to unearth edible roots, tubers, and underground plant parts that they can eat. This tool helps them access buried food sources more efficiently in their foraging activities. It can also be used for digging up grubs, insects, or small animals for consumption.


Why did hunter-gatherers have few possessions?

Hunter-gatherers had few possessions because they were nomadic and needed to travel light to keep up with their lifestyle of following food sources. Carrying fewer possessions also made it easier for them to move their camps and settle in new areas when resources became scarce. Additionally, their material needs were minimal as they relied on natural resources for their survival.


Why did hunter gatherers moved place to place?

Because plant life would be used up, the season changed and they had different places for certain seasons, and animals would die out so they needed to move unless they wanted to die from starvation, heat, or coldness! Possibly infections too!


What conditions allowed some hunter gatherers to settle down in the neolithical time period?

They settled down because the earth was heating up, so there were more food in a single spot. They were also tired of moving because it was harder for the older members. They then discovered argiculture, which made them settle down. They planted crops and stayed in the area for many generations.


When did the hunter gatherers live?

Up until about 80,000 years ago, humans subsisted by first scavenging and subsequently hunting and gathering. Some then began primitive food production as a supplement, and farming became significant from 10,000 years ago. Hunter-gathering persisted to some degree, even to some isolated remnants today.
