WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hunting and gathering was presumably the subsistence strategy employed by human societies beginning some 1.8 million years ago, by Homo erectus, and from its appearance some 200, 000 years ago by Homo sapiens.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hunting Large Animals By at least 500, 000 years ago, early humans were making wooden spears and using them to kill large animals. Early humans butchered large animals as long as 2.6 million years ago. But they may have scavenged the kills from lions and other predators.

Detailed explanation-3: -They were called hunter-gatherers because they used to hunt animals and gather resources from the forest for food and shelter.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hunter-gatherer culture developed among the early hominins of Africa, with evidence of their activities dating as far back as 2 million years ago.

Detailed explanation-5: -No one questioned that hunting is hard, but early anthropologists often assumed women’s gathering was simple and easy. This turns out to be wrong. Like hunting, gathering demands extensive ecological knowledge and skill that is socially learned and cultivated over a lifetime.
