Why did hunter and gather move …

Reasons for the movement of hunter-gatherers were as follows:

Staying at one place for a long period may cause the available resources out of stock ,so they moved from place to place.

For the people ,animals were one of the important sources of food and these animals moved one place to another in search of their own prey.

People travelled to those place where the season for the plant produce was at peak.

People living on the banks fo seasonal rivers would have had to go in search of water in dry season.

People may have travelled to meet their friends and relatives.

1. Staying at one place finished all available food—plant or animal resources.
2. Animals moved from place to place, and hence, this made the hunter-gatherers to move along with them for hunting them down.
3. Plants and trees bore fruit in different seasons. Thus, people had to move season to season to find different kinds of plants.
4. Plants and animals needed water to survive. Although most of the water bodies (lakes, ponds and streams) were perennial, some were seasonal. Thus, people living on the banks had to go in search of water during the dry seasons.
