Assignment:
Consider the pros and cons of two very different subsistence strategies - hunting & gathering, and farming. By "pros", she means anything positive - when it would be good, why it would be good, how it would be good; by "cons", anything negative - when / why / how it might not be so great.
Create four distinct lists:
1) All the "pros" for hunting-gathering
2) All the "cons" for hunting-gathering
3) All the "pros" for farming
4) All the "cons" for farming
Conclude the exercise by drawing some conclusions about if, when, and why one or the other way of getting food might be the better choice, and also why you think groups may have opted for one or the other despite those "cons" you listed.
