Prehistoric Cultures

Question 2 • OK-Oklahoma History -CA- 37411A

Why were megafauna so important to prehistoric cultures?

Answer
A
Prehistoric cultures used megafauna to perform labor, like plowing fields.
B
Prehistoric cultures could only find food by following megafauna and eating what they left behind.
C
Prehistoric cultures were hunter-gatherers and had to follow the megafauna for food.
D
Prehistoric cultures worshipped the megafauna and paid tribute to them.

Explanation

Prehistoric cultures depended on hunting and gathering for food. Large animals, or megafauna, provided important sources of meat and other resources, so hunter-gatherers often moved to follow their herds. Choice C best describes this dependence; the other choices describe farming, scavenging only, or worship, which do not explain their importance as well.
