Compare the ways that hunter-gatherers and early settlers adapted to the environment to meet their needs.
Answer (3)
Hunter -Gatherers are constantly moving from place to place, so they are great at adapting to environments because their environment is always changing.
Early Settlers live in one place, so they are more productive overall but are less adept at adapting to other environments.
Both are human lifestyles where adapting to environments still matters.
Hunter-gatherers and early settlers adapted to their environments differently to meet their needs.
Hunter-Gatherers vs. Early Settlers
Adaptation to Environment: Hunter-gatherers relied on wild plants and animals for food, were often mobile, and had fluid group compositions. Early settlers, on the other hand, engaged in agriculture, domesticating plants and animals, leading to sedentary lifestyles and more stable communities.
Meeting Needs: Hunter-gatherers gathered and hunted for their food, adapting to the availability of natural resources. Early settlers adapted by cultivating crops and raising livestock to meet their needs for food, clothing, and other essentials.
Hunter-gatherers adapted to their environment by being mobile, learning about resources, and following animal migrations. In contrast, early settlers adapted by establishing permanent homes, farming, and changing their surroundings to support agricultural practices. Both lifestyles show different strategies for coping with environmental challenges.
