A hunter-gatherer is a human living in a community in which most or all food is obtained by procuring naturally occurring edible items from local wildlife and vegetation. This lifestyle relies on hunting, fishing, and gathering wild plants, seeds, and fungi. Historically the dominant subsistence strategy for the majority of human history, it has largely been replaced by agriculture and pastoralism.
