Answer 1

Answer:

Hunter-gatherers travelled from place to place due to the following reasons: If they stayed at one place for a long time, they would have eaten up all the plant and animal resources available at that place. As animals move from place to place in search of food, hunters also moved to chase them for hunting

Answer 2

Answer:

Hunter-gatherers travelled from place-to-place:

• In search of plant and animal resources when had exhausted at one place.

• In search of smaller prey, or, in the case of deer and wild cattle, in search of grass and leaves. Therefore, those who hunted them had to follow their movements.

• Plants and trees bear fruit in different seasons. So, people may have moved from season to season in search of different kinds of plants.

• People living on the banks of rivers and lakes which are seasonal would have had to go in search of water during the dry seasons.

• Also, People may have travelled on foot to meet their friends and relatives.

Today, we do not travel for water and food but in search of jobs to earn their livelihood. Also, we travel to interesting place, business and to meet friends and relatives.
