Hunter-gatherers were people from long ago who hunted animals and gathered plants for survival. They lived together in small bands. These small bands move from place to place so that they can hunt animals and find plants. Also, they move to find a shelter to live in. Hunter-gatherers made new tools so that they could hunt their food. The tools they made included hunting bows and spears. Another thing hunter-gatherers made and used was fire. They used it for cooking their food, scaring of wild animals, and keeping themselves warm.
