Hunter gatherers tended to have uncertain food supplies because they could not carry any leftovers with them and since they moved around often, different places might not have the same amount of animals. In addition, hunter gatherers sometimes over hunted an area, which led to decreased biodiversity and eventually not enough food sources to feed a population
