Question
List three ways in which the lives of farmers and herders would have been different from that of hunter-gatherers.

(b) Hunter-gatherers depended on the meat of wild animals whereas farmers and herders used plants, crops, and cattle.
(c) Hunter-gatherers did not have any settled life whereas farmers and herders gradually settled in huts, pit-houses, etc.
