Answer to Question 1

Subsistence refers to the means by which a society gains the basic necessities of life,

including food, shelter, and clothing. The earliest known division of labor between

women and men is in hunting and gathering societies. Whereas men hunt for wild

game, women gather roots and berries. A relatively equitable relationship exists

because neither sex has the ability to provide all the food necessary for survival. In

most of these societies, women are full economic partners with men relations between

men and women tend to be cooperative and relatively egalitarian. Little social

stratification of any kind is found because people do not acquire a food surplus.
