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 -

┬аHunter-gatherers travelled from place to place for four basic reasons which are as follows: (also see flow-learning).

If they stayed at one place for a long time, they would have eaten up all the available plant and animal resources. Therefore, they went to another place for more food.
Animals move from place to place. Humans followed them as they hunted them.
Plants and trees bear fruit in different seasons. So when season changed, people moved to another place.
In search of water, people travelled from place to place. Water is necessary for survival.
However, nowadays we travel for different purposes, like:

Education. We travel to schools.
Work. We travel to work.
Business. People travel from place to place for business purposes.
Entertainment. We travel from one place to another to amuse and entertain ourselves, like going to a circus, a zoo or sightseeing.
