OpenStudy (anonymous):

Before humans learnt to farm they got their food by hunting and gathering. Hunting and gathering was the ancestral subsistence mode of Homo, and all modern humans were hunter-gatherers until around 10,000 years ago. Gathering means collecting plants that grow wild for food. In the Middle Stone Age, until around 8000 BC this was the main source of food. People gathered grain (wheat and barley and millet and rye), fruit like apples and pears and figs, olives, wild carrots and peas, lentils, mushrooms, berries, chestnuts, walnuts, almonds, herbs like oregano, thyme, and mint, and berries: strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, currants, honey etc.
