Who were the people that were hunters and gatherers?

Hunters and gatherers were early human societies that relied on hunting animals and gathering wild plants for sustenance. These groups existed before the advent of agriculture, living in small, mobile communities that moved according to seasonal availability of resources. They developed a deep understanding of their environments and utilized a variety of tools and techniques to procure food. This lifestyle was predominant for most of human history until the development of farming around 10,000 years ago.
