1. How did hunters and gatherers live?

Explanation

Hunters and gatherers lived a nomadic life because they relied on hunting animals and gathering plants for their survival. They did not have permanent settlements and instead moved from place to place in search of food and resources. This lifestyle allowed them to adapt to different environments and take advantage of seasonal availability of food. They did not live in one specific region, but rather in various locations such as Asia, Africa, forests, and mountains. The time period in which hunters and gatherers lived was around 10000 BC.

2. How did the hunting and gathering change to farming?

Explanation

The answer suggests that hunting and gathering changed abruptly due to the lack of food and the ice age. This implies that the scarcity of food resources and the harsh environmental conditions during the ice age forced people to transition from a hunting and gathering lifestyle to farming, which provided a more reliable and sustainable food source.

3. Where did hunters and gatherers live?

Explanation

Hunters and gatherers lived in various regions including Africa, Asia, parts of Europe, and Australia. These regions provided a diverse range of environments and resources for these societies to survive and thrive. Africa and Asia, in particular, were home to numerous hunter-gatherer communities, while parts of Europe and Australia also had populations practicing this way of life. This distribution suggests that hunter-gatherer societies were widespread and adaptable to different geographical and environmental conditions.

5. What is the definition of a hunter/gatherer

Explanation

The correct answer is "A group of nomads, who deliver from their surroundings". This answer accurately describes the definition of a hunter/gatherer. Hunter/gatherer societies are characterized by their reliance on hunting, fishing, and gathering wild plants for sustenance. They typically live in small, mobile groups and move according to the availability of resources in their environment. This lifestyle is often associated with early human societies before the development of agriculture.

6. When did they live?

Explanation

The correct answer is 3 million years ago. This is based on the understanding that "they" refers to a group of individuals or species who lived in the past. This time period aligns with the existence of early hominids, such as Australopithecus, who lived around 2-4 million years ago. The other options, 250,000 years ago, 5 million years ago, and 10000BC, do not correspond to the timeframe in which early hominids existed.
