Stored food
24 students marked "I sat this"Added 20 Mar 2020Question #100042
Put the paragraphs in order.
- AA consequence of a settled existence is that it permits one to store food surpluses, since storage would be pointless if one didn't remain nearby to guard the stored food.
- BBut stored food is essential for feeding non-food-producing specialists, and certainly for supporting whole towns of them.
- CHence nomadic hunter- gatherer societies have few or no such full-time specialists, who instead first appear in sedentary societies.
- DSo, while some nomadic hunter-gatherers may occasionally bag more food than they can consume in a few days, such a bonanza is of little use to them because they cannot protect it.
