Question

Hunter-gatherer societies were both similar to and different from the farming villages that developed during the Neolithic period. In one paragraph, explain how the two groups were similar and how they were different. Include at least two similarities and two differences.

Answer 1

Answer:

Required shelters and lived with community.  

Both have to protect themselves from wild animals and accidents.  

Explanation:    

Hunting gathering societies part of a lifestyle that required them to search for food rather than cultivating in a particular place. They lived in small communities consist of families, including about 20 to 60 people.

Humans during the Neolithic era cultivated crops along with domesticating animals. People built mud-brick houses, coated with plaster. They grew pulses and wheat.

Both were similar in some way as both needed protection from wild animals. The chances of death were more due to infections and injuries, so they stayed away from mishaps. Shelters were required to protect from animals, weather like rain, and cold. Both had community as they work and travelled together.
