Final answer:
The assertion that foragers' diets were dominated by meats is false, as their diets were varied, including plant-based foods dependent on environmental availability.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement "The diet of foragers (hunter-gatherers) is dominated by meats" is false. Evidence from archaeological work and studies of contemporary forager societies shows that hunter-gatherers had a diversified diet. While the diets of forager societies could include meats such as small and large mammals, fish, and shellfish, they also heavily relied on plant-based foods like nuts, fruits, berries, wild grains, roots, and honey. This variety in diet depended on the local environment and availability of resources. In certain areas, especially where plant resources were plentiful, plant foods formed a significant portion of the diet. The Dobe Ju/'hoansi of the Kalahari, for example, relied heavily on mongongo nuts as a staple food.
