Document Summary
Economic itself is based on subsistence; to adapt to fit in, subsist- to live. Subsistence- basic activity of life according to this perception. Adaptive strategy: hunting gathering / foraging-very primitive, evolutionary adaptation, marked the distinct human pattern, non-human primates forge the food, hunting-gathering is based on gender, women and men subsistence activity, exploring a wide range of food. Humans are omnivorous, requires diversity in our diet. Development of a system of sharing, a home base, usually where there is a fire, a series of fire, shared within family and also a wider band. Rule: the relative proportion of hunting and gathering is based on complex ecosystem and living close to equator. Most hunter-gatherers are nomadic- move in a lot of places, this lifestyle has been around for a long time. They also tend to have low pop densities- because their pop is based on food.
