    Hunter-gatherer societies subsisted by hunting wild animals and gathering plants, seeds, fruits, and nuts. They had to periodically relocate to new areas to find food and water when local resources became scarce. Men typically hunted in groups while women gathered plants and cared for children. Children helped by making noises to encourage animals into capture nets. Hunter-gatherers developed language to facilitate group hunting, form social relationships, and resolve conflicts. They also created cave paintings that may have had religious meanings or been used to teach hunting techniques. Early burials with grave goods provide evidence that religion emerged during this period.
