Question 8 • FL-8500300-Parenting Skills (IS) - Flex

Family composition has changed and adapted throughout history and in different areas of the world. What is TRUE about family life in hunting and gathering societies?

Answer
A
Women were solely responsible for caring for children.
B
Men were the only ones allowed to obtain food for the group.
C
Power was distributed equally among the adult members of the family.
D
Children were often raised by one single parent.

Explanation

Hunting and gathering societies generally relied on cooperation among adult members, with food gathering and other responsibilities shared. This meant family power was relatively equally distributed rather than controlled solely by men or women. Children were typically cared for by the group, so the claim that they were often raised by one single parent is not accurate. The true statement is that power was distributed equally among adult family members.
