What hypothesis has been presented as an alternative to both the Hunting Hypothesis and the Gathering Hypothes?

It sounds like the question is saying that our ancestors survived by doing something other than hunting food and gathering food.





The only alternative to those would be foraging at the edge of large bodies of water, with limited fishing. I however would count both as types of gathering and hunting, respectively.





I have never heard of an alternative hypothesis to either method of food acquisition.|||Ranching and farming are the modern alternatives to hunting and gathering.





A few people still go bird or deer hunting, and we have those odd mushroom hunters, but for the most part we don't do it anymore.





Man is an animal. All animals are in a constant search for food. If they're tracking an animal, it's called hunting. If they see a blackberry along the way and eat it, it's called gathering. Eventually we realized that we could raise animals and food and not have to go looking for it.
