Answer 1

Modern foragers are not Stone Age relics, living fossils, lost tribes, or noble savages. Still, to the extent that foraging has been the basis of their subsistence, contemporary and recent hunter-gatherers can illustrate links between foraging economies and other aspects of society and culture, such as their sociopolitical organization.

Answer: Option C

In the history of human beings on this planet, hunters-gatherers hold the longest history. Even today there are many societies where people rely on foraging for their sustenance and survival and have not adapted to the modern ways of civilised societies.

These modern foragers do not stuck in time and living the life of early man but they have developed well organised social and political structure for themselves. They possess their own culture and rituals to follow and their tribe issues are decided by the well-established political system.
