#### [[Foragers suffered less from disease]]
Most diseases that we have to deal with today are spread to us by close contact with farm animals and other humans.
[[Hunter-gatherers]] didn't have to deal with this
partially because [[Foraging allowed for a diverse diet]],
but mainly just because [[Foraging kept populations down]].
This later
results in:: [[Native Americans died in droves to European diseases]]
part of:: [[Foraging was a very sustainable lifestyle]]
