Hunter-gatherer explained to kids

Hunter-gatherers are people who get their food by hunting animals and gathering plants. This was the way most people lived until about 10,000 years ago. Now, most people live in cities and get their food from grocery stores. Hunter-gatherers have to know a lot about their environment. They need to know which plants are edible and which are not. They also need to know where to find animals and how to hunt them. Hunter-gatherers usually live in small groups. This is because it is easier to find food when there are fewer people to feed. Hunter-gatherers have to work hard to get their food. But they also have a lot of free time. This is because they only work when they need to get food. They do not have to work all the time to make money to buy food. Hunter-gatherers are some of the healthiest people in the world. They are not exposed to the same diseases that people in cities are. And they eat a lot of healthy food. Hunter-gatherers are some of the happiest people in the world. This is because they have a lot of free time to do the things they enjoy.
