Hunter-gatherers lived for around 100,000 years by hunting animals and gathering plants in small groups before the development of agriculture. If hunter-gatherers had not adopted agriculture and continued their nomadic lifestyles, humans would not have evolved settled lifestyles or advanced technology beyond Stone Age tools and climate change would not be a problem as hunter-gatherers use natural resources without permanent settlements.

2. What if hunter-gatherers didn’t change
their lifestyle..?
Early humans survived by hunting
animals and gathering plants for about
100,000 years. We call them hunter-
gatherers. They lived in small groups of
about 20-30 people. Hunter-gatherers lived
all over the world.

3. They wouldn’t
have evolved.
Evidence: The agriculture
resulted in lifestyle changes from
nomadic lifestyles to living in
homes with domesticated
animals and land farmed using
more varied and sophisticated
tools.

4. Technology
wouldn't have
advanced
Evidence: The Stone Age lifestyle
was that of hunter-gatherers
who did not have a lot of changes
in technology.

5. They wouldn't
have established
stationary
colonies
Evidence: When was no more
food hunter-gatherers move to
another place, where they could
hunt.

6. How the world be different ?
Climate Change will
not be a problem.
The hunter-gatherers will
use natural resources to
make tools and survive.
Would be more animals
in danger of extinction or
already extinct.
Hunter-gatherers hunt animals
to eat and make clothes.
