1.)How was the hunter gatherer's life shaped by their environment?

Hunter gatherer’s daily life was spent foraging or hunting food from their environment. They spent their days hunting small animals, fishing, and gathering berries and other vegetation they could eat.They were nomadic and moved around frequently searching for food. This was the only way of life for humans until about 12,000 years ago when archaeological studies show evidence of the emergence of agriculture. Human lifestyles began to change as groups formed permanent settlements and tended crops.

Hunter gatherer’s lives were shaped by their environment by spending their time hunting animals, fishing and gathering. Hunter gatherers lived in Africa. They hunted small animals like rabbits, capybaras, and picked berries.The Hunter gatherers took so many berries that the animals weren’t able to eat so the animals died out. They also hunted so many animals that a lot of them became extinct. They also did not have permanent homes and were nomads because they were always on the go to hunt for animals. They moved from place to place daily hunting and gathering for their needs. Since they were always on the move, they didn’t have permanent shelters. They moved to where they could find food to survive.

3. Describe The time in which they lived.

Hunter gatherers lived up to 12 thousand years ago. Trees and forests covered the land. You could hear the howling of the animals that roamed the land. Hunter

gatherers in prehistoric times lived in groups because there was safety in numbers. They were able to protect themselves from enemies if they were in larger groups. During this time period, hunter gatherers did not depend on growing food and they had no way to store the food they found

4.What were some events they would have experienced?

Some of the Hunter gatherers events are inventing fire. This red, burning flame created needed heat from the icy weather. They were also able to scare away animals and also they were able to cook their food. This benefited them because they were able to eat food that was healthy and cooked instead of only eating nuts and berries. Other events they may have experienced could have been seeing different types of animals depending on where they moved to. For example, some animals only live in colder climates while others live in warmer climates.Another event hunter gatherers experienced was the Ice Age.They had to keep moving to find food and to make clothing with the animal skin and fur.

How was a herder's life shaped by his/her environment?

This time period was known as the Neolithic Age. This was around 10,000 years ago. Hunter gatherers shifted from hunting and gathering and became a little more settled by herding animals.

2. What was a herders way of life like? What did his/her day look like?

Herder's lives were shaped by their environments by farming. They domesticated animals such as cattle, sheep dogs,camels and goats. They brought individual animals together into a group herd, maintaining the group, and moving the group from place to place.Herders lived in Africa and parts of Asia.In Asia they herded bactrian camels and goats.Since they now herded animals, they were semi nomadic and had a more settled life.They were able to control their environment by herding animals and began to have a surplus of food.

Describe the time in which herders lived.

The daily life of herders was usually herding animals and raising animals. They decided which animals they would breed, trade, or slaughter for meat. Since they were in more settled places, herders usually lived near water sources to have access to smaller animals and fish for meat and also for drinking water. Herding helped them to start a barter system to trade goods. With domesticated animals, herders used them to help with their work.

What were some events herders would have experienced?

Some of the events that herders faced were formations of social classes. With food surpluses herders were able to live in larger villages. Different people had different responsibilities. This led to social classes and also conflict because people were able to accumulate more than others.Since they were more settled and didn’t have to travel, greater social differences emerged. Another event was the development of an economy. People traded goods and services and decided what goods and services to trade.

Describe the time in which farmers lived.

This time period was around 10,000 years ago and it was known as the Neolithic Agricultural Revolution.It was a new way of thinking.It happened because the Ice Age was over.Temperatures started to rise,rainfall patterns changed,and ocean levels also rose.Since Ice Age animals died out people began to look for new sources of food.They changed their environments and began farming.

How was a farmer's life shaped by their environment?

Farmers’ lives were shaped by their environment by switching from a nomadic lifestyle to a more settled life. They learned to grow their own crops. They settled near fertile land and began to domesticate animals and plants. They were able to get more food rather than hunting and foraging. Their lives changed and became easier. They were able to build more permanent shelters and create villages.

What were some events farmers would have experienced?

Some events they would have experienced were developments of new specializations like pottery and new tools to be used.Another event was the development of social classes.Since they grew their own food and raised animals there was a surplus of food.Some people had more than others and it created social classes.Also heads of households in villages were able to make important decisions and form governments and an economy based on the goods and services they provided

What was farmers way of life like? What did their day look like?

A farmer’s daily life during this time period focused on tending to his animals and crops. They gathered the running water to tend to their crops.They also learned how to store their crops to barter or trade. They would pick through the seeds and decide which ones were best for planting. Some people did not farm. Their daily life would involve specializations like pottery making, tool making, weavers, and metal working.
