>>18247710HGs had less reliable sources of food and had to wander more in search of it. The HG way of life is more prone to sudden food shortages so they have to pay close attention to animal migration behaviors. Pastoralists can take breaks from their herds and engage in hunting and fishing when they want.There's actually a long transitory period between pure hunting and gathering without much planning and pastoralism. HGs have built animal drives out of stone around the world. Basically you setup fencing that causes deer to run in a certain direction to a designated killing zone where you ambush them. Taking control of herds like that was the first step toward pastoralism. Pastoralism is basically the endgame of hunting where you've decided to take complete control of your food source instead of leaving anything up to chance.After the death of mega fauna like mammoths, pastoralism was the next logical step in securing food year round. In warmer climates, farming was more obvious.

>>18247740>There's actually a long transitory period between pure hunting and gathering without much planning and pastoralism.?Pastoralists came out of sedentary cultures whose animal husbandry ended up increasing mobility and was more productive than farming. Horses, sheep, goats, cattle were all domesticated by sedentary farmers, some of which then turned into pastoralists.The sole exception was the domestication of reindeer, which happened thousands of years later and always in areas that had close contact with people already engaging in animal husbandry.Pastoralism doesn't follow hunting/gathering, it's a consequence of farming in marginal areas.
