Why did the hunter-gatherers travel from place to place? In what ways are these similar to,different from the reasons for which we travel today?  

Answer:

There are at least four reasons why hunter-gatherers moved from place to place. First, if they had stayed at one place for a long time, they would have eaten up all the available plant and animal resources. Therefore, they would have had to go elsewhere in search of food. Second, animals move from place to place — either in search of smaller prey, or, in the case of deer and wild cattle, in search of grass and leaves. That is why those who hunted them had to follow their movements. Third, giants and trees bear fruit in different seasons. So, people may have moved from season to season in search of different kinds of plants. Fourth, people, plants and animals need water to survive. Water is found in lakes, streams and rivers. While many rivers and lakes are perennial (with water throughout the year) others are seasonal. People living on their banks would have had to go in search of water during the dry seasons (winter and summer). But, in Modem age a civilized person move or travel from one place to other place in search of good livelihood. Also he lives settle life. Besides, people may have travelled to meet their friends and relatives
