"Hayden (3) stated that hunter-gatherers such as the !Kung might live in conditions close to the "ideal" hunting and gathering environment. What do the !Kung eat?

It should be Gatherer-Hunter Societies; something like 90% of the !Kung people's diet comes from gathering roots and berries. Hunting is less efficient than gathering roots, berries, etc... Plants don't run off when you get close to them.
We put a lot of emphasis on the idea of "man the hunter," but originally we were more "man the scavenger."
