When we were kids we learned many things about hunters. How did they live million years ago? What did they do for a living? Their weapons culture, language, art, etc. There are many interesting facts about them.
Hunter-gatherers are prehistoric nomads who developed the knowledge of hunting and many domestic purposes as they are in places from Africa to Asia. From the Neolithic Revolution Hunter-gatherers largely started to disappear but still, we believe they are few parts in the world.

Both Hunting and Gathering was first adapted by Homo sapiens to adapt at colder climate and hunt large animals easily in that sophisticated technology. Let’s see about their lifestyle in their daily life.
Tools and Technology:
In their time they used only simple tools. As we all know that during the Stone Age they invented hand axe with sharpened stone nearly before 2 million years ago.
Regarding Cooking and warding off the predators has been the crucial point in their time. Using hearths for cooking to control heat is been found in those times itself.
The fire was their first best discovery in their life. Whereas fire enabled them by being warm in a colder climate, helpful for their cooking. Even to scare the animal's fire is been used for their safety purpose.
Women are known as the best hunters: Is it true?
Women hunting skills are surveyed around the world in Traditional societies, even many anthropologists discovered that pregnant women often won’t go hunting. Women will only go hunting if their child is been cared for.
In hunter-gatherers, the way men hunt would be risky which causes many failures most of the time. Men would always hunt alone or in small groups and hunt big animals. But women are not like them, they would always hunt in a group and focus on smaller animals mainly near their camps, often with the help of a dog. So this leads that women are said to be the best hunters.
In some instances, women would help men to capture the animal to death and take only meat to the home. They may also participate by locating the prey, surrounding it, and focuses on the killing location.

From the studies of the modern-day, they are nomadic tribe before 2 million years ago. These hunters are egalitarian (believing in a principle that everyone should get equal and deserving rights) by nature. According to them, the labor work is divided evenly without any gender aspect. Their physiological evolution led to greater changes, as being intelligent in their last times led to a longer period of their lifetime.
Conclusion:
So it is still believed that Hunters do still live in this modern day in some parts of our world. Many contexts say with the help of their favorable conditions before 1200 years ago areas such as the Middle east Fertile Crescent and the domestication of their plants and animals were beginning at the Neolithic revolution.
Full-time hunting and gathering were not intimate because humans need to improvise the agriculture methods, but there has been a success in Mesopotamia, China, India for the early growth of civilization were by 1500AD many of them depend upon domestic sources.
