when comparing african foragers to people who live in urban centers, what indicator(s) suggest that foragers may have a higher quality of life?
○ they have more efficient tools and weapons.
○ within their communities, they have little conflict because they are egalitarian.
○ they need less food than people who live in cities.
○ their domesticated animals (e.g., cattle, sheep, and goats) are always with them.
○ foragers grow their own food and store surpluses for emergencies.

Explanation:

Foragers (hunter-gatherers) typically have egalitarian social structures with minimal internal conflict, as resources are shared equally and there is no hierarchical power imbalance. Urban centers often have higher rates of conflict due to inequality, competition, and social stratification. The other options are incorrect: foragers do not have more efficient tools/weapons than urban populations, they do not domesticate animals (that is pastoralism), they do not grow food or store surpluses (that is agriculture), and their food needs are not inherently lower than urban people.

Answer:

○ Within their communities, they have little conflict because they are egalitarian.
