Hunter-Gatherer Societies
Captions available
The idea
Hunter-gatherer societies subsist by foraging wild plants and hunting animals, living in small mobile bands with little accumulated property.
In practice
A band of thirty moves with the season, carrying what it owns and sharing the day's catch.
Where people slip
Small and mobile does not mean simple — their ecological knowledge is vast and precise.
