Define Hunter-Gatherers and discuss their classification.

Hunter-gatherers, also known as foragers, are societies that subsist by hunting wild animals, fishing, and gathering plants, fruits, nuts, and other resources from their natural environment. This mode of subsistence is one of the earliest forms of human livelihood, tracing back to the Paleolithic era, long before the advent of agriculture. Hunter-gatherer societies are characterized by their mobility, reliance on natural resources, and social structures that tend to be egalitarian. The study of hunter-gatherers provides valuable insights into human adaptation, social organization, and the relationship between culture and environment, making it a critical area of focus within environmental anthropology.
