Question

All of the following are true of traditional hunters and gatherers living in band societies EXCEPT:

a. they have no dependence on produced foods (even though they may enjoy them)
b. for most, the bulk of their diet is primarily from vegetable foods rather than meat
c. they have frequent warfare in order to defend their hunting territories
d. they are egalitarian

Answer 1

The incorrect statement about traditional hunters and gatherers living in band societies is that they have frequent warfare to defend their hunting territories; they are actually egalitarian and conflicts between groups are very rare.

Step-by-step explanation:

Traditional hunters and gatherers living in band societies are characterized by several distinct features. Among these features are their nomadic lifestyle, egalitarian social structure, reliance on environmental resources for sustenance, and the sexual division of labor that emphasizes the role of women in gathering.

All of the following statements are true about traditional hunters and gatherers EXCEPT:

• they have frequent wartime in order to defend their hunting territories. Hunters and gatherers are known to be egalitarian, sharing resources, and conflicts between groups are very rare. Warfare is not a common characteristic as they often request permission from neighboring territories if needed, indicating cooperative rather than combative relationships with neighboring groups.

Traditional hunters and gatherers exhibit a strong tendency towards egalitarianism, often discourage greed, and encourage sharing and cooperation.
