They would eat wild berries, fruit, some grains, plants, and roots. Early man would get there food by hunting in big groups. They would use sharp bones, sticks, and rocks for creating tools. Cultures in which human beings obtain their food by hunting, fishing, scavenging, and gathering wild plants and other edibles. It is probable that generally, the men hunted while the women foraged.

The early man used to procure food by means of 'gathering' foliage, roots and tubers and others, followed by 'hunting and trapping' of animals and became omnivore in food getting ways. Thus, the early man was basically a “gatherer and hunter” in procurement of food. ... They were all hunter-gatherers.
