Question

Woman in hunter-gatherer communities had fewer children because it was to difficult to take care of babies while living a nomadic life. On the other hand, women in agricultural communities could have more children because as they lived in a seasonal villages. This change was one of the ways to which farming contributed to a rapid increase in human population.

Answer 1

The statement is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hunter-gatherer communities cannot support large populations because they have very limited resources. In fact, they practically do not possess anything, and have to obtain their food on a weekly, or even daily basis, depending entirely on the resources of the enviroment. This is why these communities move around when resources are depleted in a particular area.

Sedentary, agricultural communities can support higher populations because agriculture is a more productive way of obtaining food. Agriculture even produces food surpluses, which lead to the accumulation of wealth, the division of labor, the growth of the population, and the creation of social classes.
