Dude I think 95% of the human population would die if we went back to hunter gatherer culture. Modern agriculture is what sustains our population.

- greedo 7y agoOh definitely. HG culture is hard! The skills aren't easily learned, and depend on knowledge specific to a region. What would really kill most of us is water issues.
- int_19h 7y agoIt's not just about skills. The point, again, is that there is simply not enough game (or edible plants, for that matter) to sustain out present population levels. It's a difference of several orders of magnitude. Look at some of the most successful historical hunter-gatherer societies, the ones that lived in areas that are naturally abundant with food - e.g. temperate rainforests with bountiful rivers, like Japan or American PNW. But even then, we're talking about the largest communities consisting of several hundred people, maybe a thousand - nowhere near our present population density.
