Studies of !Kung, San hunter-gatherers revealed that their subsistence base (hunting and gathering) was surprisingly abundant and predictable. Although they had to make subsistence efforts throughout the year, the hunter-gatherers enjoyed considerable leisure. M. D. Sahlins has been inspired to label them as “the original affluent society” (1968:85). Why did later hunter-gatherer populations adopt an agricultural mode of subsistence? Or why did the non-agricultural population turn to farming?
