Answer:

An egalitarian society that relies only on wild resources for food is a hunter-gatherer society.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hunter-gatherer societies engage in a subsistence lifestyle that relies on hunting and fishing and foraging for wild vegetation and other foodstuffs that are found in the wild like honey and nuts. This was the principal form of human subsistence until about 12,000 years ago. Hunter-gatherers are politically autonomous because they use mobility as a survival strategy. Although there are few surviving groups who live this way today like the Hadza in Tanzania, hunter-gathers generally live in small bands and move from camp to camp as they follow the available game and search out edible vegetation.
