The Importance of Foragers

Most hunter gatherers cannot rely on hunted meat year round or even trapped meat. Groups like the Hadsa and the Koon Bushman of Africa fail to get meat more than half the time when they go out hunting. Trapping is much better when it comes to fishing, doing stuff like setting up traps along the coast that can sweep up large numbers of fish. It's not hard to teach little kids to process nuts or to process tubers in the Americas.
