Foraging societies

Foraging societies, also known as hunter-gatherers, are communities that obtain food primarily by collecting wild plants, hunting animals, and fishing. They rely on natural resources rather than farming or domesticating animals. These societies tend to be small, mobile, and organized around shared knowledge and cooperation. Their subsistence methods are sustainable and closely tied to local ecosystems, often resulting in flexible social structures. Foraging societies have existed globally for thousands of years and offer insights into early human adaptation, emphasizing a harmonious relationship with their environment.
