What type of society is dependent on the combining of plant and animal genomes to create food and medicine?
-bio-economic
-industrial
-hunter-gather
-none of the above
Answer: Option 3. Hunter – gather
Reason:
People who obtain food by foraging wild plants and wild animals are referred as people following hunter-gather principle or way of life. These people are part of the society and are very well known as ‘hunter-gatherer society’. People belonging to this society rely on the wild plants and wild animals for their everyday needs and other medicinal needs. Presently a very few hunter-gatherer societies exist.
Example: Hadza people of Tanzania.
Bio-economic society is the one that focuses on using principles of biology and economics to manage resources. The industrial society is the one who’s primary focus is to use the natural resources and create wealth. Hence, the options, ‘bio-economic’ and ‘industrial’ are incorrect answer.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 3. Hunter – gather.
Hunter – gather society is dependent on the combining of plant and animal genomes to create food and medicine
