Question 2: In the paper titled “What Hunters do for a living?” in the Case Studies folder on the moodle for the course, how does the author establish that the lives of the Bushmen that he studies are not “nasty, short and brutish?” What does this say in general about hunter-gatherer societies and their quality of their existence?

This being said, if anything were to happen to the population of deer to decline the Indians…
