Anthropologist: Support During the last ice age, nomadic communities probably needed at least 15 or 20 members to survive, and they were generally not much larger than this. ███████ ██████ ███ ████████ █████████ ██ █████████ ████████ ████████ ███ ████ ██ █████ ████ ████ ████ ██ ████ ████ ████ █████ ████████ ████ ██ █████ ████ ███ ███████ ███████ █████ ███████ ██ █ █████████ ████████ ████ █████ ████ ██████ ███ █████ ██ ███████ ███████ ██ ███ ██████████
The anthropologist concludes that ice-age nomads’ food mostly came from plants and small animals, not big-game hunting as many people believe. In support, the anthropologist says that ice-age nomad communities likely only had about 15 to 20 members, and that big-game hunting would have risked multiple community members’ lives. This supports the idea that ice-age nomads would generally avoid big-game hunting.
The text indicated by the question stem is the position the argument seeks to counter. The common portrayal of ice-age nomads as big-game hunters is shown to be a misconception by the anthropologist’s argument.
