has this been keeping you awake at night, wondering if 'hunter gatherers' is used correctly as a term for early humans?
its not such a big deal. a combination of hunting and gathering was, and in some societies still is, the basic way of making sure that there is enough food of enough variety to keep everybody fed. why do you doubt so much that we went out hunting and believe we bred our food instead? hunting is a simple and instinctive activity. breeding animals for food was a relatively complex activity for earlier societies which came along much much later.
if the words bother you why don't you use 'animal killer eater sometimes going and getting-ers' instead?
