The document discusses horticultural and agrarian societies. Horticultural societies engage in small-scale cultivation of plants and animals but are semi-nomadic as they deplete local resources. Their behaviors and tasks were restricted by tradition. Agrarian societies have improved farming methods leading to increased production and larger populations. This allows for more complex social structures but also increases conflicts over resources with neighboring societies.

plants, fruits, and vegetables and the domestication of animals • Individuals are very family-oriented and clan-oriented DISADVANTAGES:
• Horticultural societies are semi-nomadic (they travel to
another place when they have already depleted the resources in one area) • Surplus of goods can sometimes lead to inequalities among its members • Behaviors of individuals were restricted by tradition • Assignment of tasks and occupations were based on gender (women: in the home; men: hunting and farming) AGRARIAN OR AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY ADVANTAGES:
• Improved technology and farming methods
results in increased production, giving rise to a growing population in agricultural societies. • The large population of agricultural societies leads to a more structured social system that helps manage resources and its members. DISADVANTAGES:
• The increasingly complex social
organization and growing importance of territory often result in conflicts among neighboring societies over resources and land. MEMBERS:
