Question 47876 • CHS World Civilization

Why did geography have such a strong impact on the lives of hunter-gatherers in the Paleolithic Era?

Answer
A
Hunter-gatherers only lived in areas with good climates.
B
Hunter-gatherers preferred to live in large communities.
C
Hunter-gatherers had to adapt to the land and available resources in order to survive.
D
Hunter-gatherers were incapable of moving if conditions in one place grew difficult.

Explanation

Paleolithic hunter-gatherers depended directly on wild plants, animals, water, and shelter. They had to adjust their movement and ways of finding food to the local climate and landscape, so geography strongly shaped how they lived. Choice C correctly describes this need to adapt to the land and its resources.
