Which statements best describe prehistoric hunter-gatherers? Select the three correct answers.

Question

They discovered how to use fire
They formed groups for protection.
They farmed and raised livestock.
They settled in walled villages

Answer 1

The three statements that best describe prehistoric hunter-gatherers are:

1. They discovered how to use fire.
2. They formed groups for protection.
3. They farmed and raised livestock. (This statement is not correct as hunter-gatherers did not farm or raise livestock; this is characteristic of later agricultural societies.)

Therefore, the correct answers are:

1. They discovered how to use fire.
2. They formed groups for protection.

Note: The third choice excluding the inaccurate statement (farming and raising livestock, and settling in walled villages) does not apply to hunter-gatherers. They were generally nomadic and did not engage in these practices until the advent of settled agricultural societies.
