<i><b>Read the following the passage and choose the correct answer.</b></i>

Very few people in the mordern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the
natural environment surrounding their homes. This method of harvesting from nature’s provision
is the oldest known subsistence strategy and has been practised for at least the last two millions
years. It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the

<b>domestication</b> of wild animals were introduced about 10,000 years ago.

Because hunter- gatherers have fared poorly in comparision with their agricultural cousins, their
numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in <b>marginal</b> environments , such as
deserts and arcic wastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the
availability of plant life.Such <b>conditions</b> have caused a greater dependence on hunting , and on
fishing along the coasts and waterways.The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the
tropics ,on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants. In
short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the
development of subsistence societies.

Contemporary hunter- gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know
from the observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on
hunting and gathering must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in a central

location , a small party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp. When the
food in the area has become exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also
notice seasonal migration patterns evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division
of labor between the sexes. These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practised by

mankind during the Paleolithic Period.
