The primitive man was a hunter gatherer. He used to hunt animals and gather fruits and other plant produce for food. The early man did not live at one place, rather used to move from one place to another. This means that the early man lived a nomadic life.
Reasons of Nomadic Life:
- The food resource at a particular place was exhausted after some time. Hence, people were forced to move in search of a better place.
- Moving from one place to another was also important for hunting. We know that animals also keep on moving from one place to another.
- Most of the plants are seasonal. They bear fruits or seeds in a particular season. So, to get constant supply of fruits, roots, seeds, etc. people needed to be on move.
- People also needed to move in search of water. You know that some rivers and ponds become dry during summer.
