Detailed explanation-1: -Hunter-gatherers kept traveling from place to place whereas farmers had to live at the same place for longer periods of time to take care of their crops. Hunter-gatherers depended on meat of wild animals whereas farmers and herders used plants, crops and cattle along with meat.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nomads were people who moved to find food. Nomads often lacked fixed permanent dwellings and, instead, “followed the food.” Hunter-gatherers, though, hunted wild animals and gathered food sources from the wild. They did not necessarily move to find food sources.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hunter-gatherer cultures forage or hunt food from their environment. Often nomadic, this was the only way of life for humans until about 12, 000 years ago when archaeologic studies show evidence of the emergence of agriculture. Human lifestyles began to change as groups formed permanent settlements and tended crops.
Detailed explanation-4: -When you think of a hunter, you visualize someone who is quick and strong. Someone who will seek a hunt far away on the horizon and will move quickly. Someone who will see minor differences in the landscape to search for a hunt. When you visualize a gatherer you see someone who is meticulous, slow, and deliberate.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hunter–gatherers are usually identified today by means of a “package” of traits, including economic, ecological, sociocultural, and ideological features, but of these the HG economy is the most important characteristic.
