Gatherers

Gatherers, in the context of general knowledge, refer to individuals or groups that collect information, resources, or materials from their environment rather than producing or manufacturing them. Historically, this term is often associated with hunter-gatherer societies, where people relied on foraging, hunting, and gathering plants, fruits, and nuts for sustenance. In a broader sense, gatherers in knowledge contexts may include researchers, archivists, or librarians who seek to compile data, facts, and insights from various sources to support understanding and decision-making. They play a crucial role in preserving and distributing knowledge within a society.
