Answer 1

There is a high correlation between subsistence patterns and population density. Subsistence patterns—such as hunting and gathering, pastoralism, horticulture, and agriculture—often influence and are influenced by the density of a population. For example, agricultural practices can support higher population densities than hunting and gathering due to the ability to produce surplus food. Conversely, higher population densities can lead to the development of more complex subsistence strategies.
