Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hunting/gathering societies rely on gathering natural resources such as wild plants, fruits and berries as well as hunting animals. This is considered the simplest subsistence technology as it requires the least amount of tools and organization. Industrial societies, on the other hand, are the most complex and advanced societies, relying on advanced machinery, technology and organization to mass-produce goods. Horticultural and agrarian societies are somewhat in between, with horticultural societies using simple hand tools and farm plots for subsistence and agrarian societies using animal or machine labor with more advanced farming techniques.
