Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Initially, early humans hunted wild animals and gathered fruits and nuts from trees. This was where they got their food. When resources in one location were depleted, they were relocated to another. They moved around like nomads. However, agriculture altered their lives. They began to grow crops in one location. Crop cultivation and harvesting required them to remain in one location for an extended period. As a result, they no longer moved from place to place in search of food, water, and shelter. They established settlements near cultivated fields and made stone tools and pottery. They also began domesticating animals for a variety of purposes.
Hence, the correct statement would be that early humans initially hunted wild animals and gathered fruits and nuts from trees.
