Very few people in the modern 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 practiced for at least the last two million years. It was, indeed, the only way to obtain
food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of wild animals were introduced about 10,000 years
ago.
Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with the agricultural cousins, their numbers have
dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts and arctic wastelands.
In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability of plant life. Such conditions
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 modem 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 smaller 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 practiced by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.

answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Members of the royal family have led an outpouring of tributes from around the world at the death of Prince Philip,
the husband of Queen Elizabeth. Buckingham Palace has spoken of the Queen’s “deep sorrow” after her
husband of 73 years, who had been by her side throughout her reign, died peacefully at Windsor Castle aged
99 on Friday night (Australian time).
Flags at Buckingham Palace and government buildings across the United Kingdom were lowered to half- mast,
and within an hour of the announcement the public began to lay flowers outside Windsor Castle and
Buckingham Palace. However, mourners have been urged not to gather and leave tributes at royal
residences, and the public has been asked to stay away from funeral events because of the coronavirus
pandemic. An online book of condolence has been launched on the Royal Family’s official website for people
to leave messages of sympathy.
The prince died two months short of his 100th birthday. He had recently spent four weeks in hospital with an
infection where he was treated for a heart condition before being discharged and returned to Windsor early in
March. The Duke of Edinburgh had been by his wife’s side throughout her 69-year reign, the longest in British
history, and during that time earned a reputation for a tough, no-nonsense attitude, and a propensity for
occasional gaffes. A Greek prince, Philip married Elizabeth in 1947, and together they had four children, eight
grandchildren, and nine great grandchildren. He played a key role helping the monarchy adapt to a changing
world in the post-World War II period, and behind the walls of Buckingham Palace was the one key figure the
Queen could trust and turn to, knowing he could tell her exactly what he thought.
The death of the Duke comes in the midst of the worst public health crisis for generations as Britain and countries
around the globe reel from the devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Philip will not have a state
funeral nor lie in state for the public to pay their respects ahead of the funeral, the College of Arms said, with
arrangements revised to meet coronavirus restrictions.
