Most of what we know about the standard of living and work patterns of huntergatherers is based on studies of contemporary groups. Sanderson and Alderson suggest that this fact
 
  a. invalidates Sahlins's original affluent society thesis
  b. means that Sahlins's thesis has no applicability to prehistoric hunter-gatherers
  c. enhances the plausibility of Sahlins's thesis because most prehistoric huntergatherers would have existed in much more favorable environments than recent hunter-gatherers
  d. none of these

Question 2

The production of an economic surplus by hunter-gatherers occurs
 
  a. frequently, but the lack of appropriate preservation technology means that much of the surplus spoils
  b. rarely, because the natural environment is incapable of allowing it to be generated
  c. frequently, as is obvious from the existence of large storehouses commonly found in hunter-gatherer villages
  d. rarely, because of a lack of any real need for it
