Thousands of years ago there were no farms to provide food. There were far fewer people then than there are now. They found food by hunting and gathering. Hunting means finding and killing animals to eat. Gathering means finding plants to eat. One way of trapping a mammoth is shown on the board above. Mammoths have been extinct for about 12,000 years. Today there are far too many people in the world to feed everyone by hunting and gathering.
