In hunting and gathering societies, people live by hunting large and small animals.
They supplement this source of food by collecting a wide range of roots, fruits, and tubers.
Living close to nature, the people adapt themselves to nature and move from place-to-place in search of food.
In some cases, the hunters and gatherers managed to enjoy a measure of affluence by securing surplus food.
