The statements that are not accurate descriptions of hunter-gatherers are:

  • They keep herds of animals.
  • Their food supply is more reliable than that of farmers.

Hunter-gatherers primarily rely on foraging for wild plants and hunting wild animals for sustenance, rather than domesticating animals or farming crops. In general, the food supply of hunter-gatherers is considered less reliable than that of agricultural societies, which can cultivate crops and rear animals for a more stable food source.
