Document Summary
Adaptation horticulture-normally small-scale cultivation of crops using hand tools such as digging sticks or hoes. Anthropogenesis-the process whereby ecosystems are in uenced or altered by humans. Examples include human impact on the environment through pollution, farming or construction ecosystem-a system, or a functioning whole, composed of both the physical environment and the organisms living within it. Oldest and most universal of fully human lifestyles-the foraging adaptation. Today, foragers are found in the arctic tundra, deserts and inaccessible forests. Forager: people who do not farm or practice animal husbandry. Follow a certain schedule based on time of year: camp organization. Carrying capacity; the number of people the available resources can support at a given technological level. Density of social relations; roughly the number and intensity of interactions among the members of a camp or other residential unit. Redistribution of people is an important factor to regulating social density. Reproduction remains low: division of labour.
