10,000 years ago.Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbershave dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts and arcticwastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability of plant life. Suchconditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing along the coasts and waterways. Theabundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greateropportunity for gathering a variety of plants. In short, the environmental differences have restricted the dietand have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies.Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from theobservation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting andgathering must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller partyharvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp. When the food in the area has becomeexhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice seasonal migration patternsevolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes. These patterns ofbehavior may be similar to those practised by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.Question 41.
