Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Hunter-gatherers were people who lived by hunting and collecting food rather than by farming. A subsistence way of life, hunter-gatherer culture focuses on catching food through fishing and hunting, foraging for wild plants and other nutrients like honey. All people engaged in hunter-gatherer behaviour up until about 12,000 years ago. Anthropologists have found traces of hunter-gatherer civilisation as far back as two million years. Because they did not rely on agriculture, hunter-gatherers relied on mobility to survive. A significant amount of land was necessary for the hunter-gatherer way of life for people to access the food they needed to survive. Most of them were nomadic since it was impractical to build long-term communities.
