During the Paleolithic Age, humans obtained food mainly through hunting animals, gathering plants, and fishing. However, they faced problems such as food scarcity, the danger of toxic plants, competition with predators, and the need for mobility due to their lifestyle. This reliance on natural resources presented both opportunities and challenges for early human societies.
