Answer to Question #172073 in Psychology for Faith

Question

Discuss similarities and differences between the lifestyles of the hunter-gatherer and hunter-herder societies of southern africa in the precolonial period

Answer 1

The biggest similarities between hunter-gatherer and agricultural societies have to do with the way that technological innovation transformed existing social and cultural practices, which also allowed for significant physical and intellectual development. The primary difference is that hunter-gatherers/foragers/hunter-collectors collect naturally occurring food off the landscape, and farmers and herders raise domesticated plants or animals for food. ... Farmers have to stay in one place to take care of their crops.
