World History Scrapbook # 1: Hunters and Gathers

Even though it does not seem that there are a lot of comparisons between the past and present, there actually are. The first article that I read was about the Eskimos, and that they are starting to use more modern tools to kill animals for food. It was talking about how they recently killed a whale, but they used a exploding harpoon and many other modern tools to kill the whale. The other article that I read about was Hunters and Gathers, and it talked a lot about that they hunted animals and gathered vegetables to create meals so that they could survive. Some similarities between the two articles are that both Hunters/gathers and Eskimos had to hunt for their food in order to survive. When they would kill the animal they would both use it's skin to create clothing, and they would use the bones to make knives and many other useful tools. Another similarity is that the Hunters/Gathers were slowly modernizing their tools, And now the Eskimos are now starting to modernize their tools. Also Hunters/Gathers settled down and created little settlements, and Eskimos settled down and created little settlements. After they settled down they both had to adapt to their environment, learn the land, and where to find food. As you can see Hunters/Gathers and Eskimos are actually quite similar to one another, even though one of them is from the past, and the other is from the present.

There are some comparisons between Hunters/Gathers and Eskimos.
