Answer:

ADVANTAGE

Hunter Gatherers had more leisure time, which they spent creating art and music.

Generally, hunter gatherers did not have to do as much labour as farmers.

Hunter gatherers rarely had any diseases that we suffer from today.

Disadvantages of foraging:

Hunter gatherers' food source was not reliable. It depends of the area they are currently inhabiting.

Nomadic lives were more difficult than sedentary ones.

Hunter Gatherers did not have many characteristics of modern civilizations.
