Just to be contrary...

My mental image of hunter/gatherer is reversed.

I've got a group of folks with spears fanning out, and another group making loud noises to spook the prey to the spearfolk, or other cooperative kinda hunters images...

...and I've got the image of a gatherers grabbing up a basket or a sack and fanning out to the four winds, each going their seperate way, searching out the fruits and firewood and garage-sale bargains of the modern world, each lost in solitary contemplation.

Comes to the same difference in the end; the one group & the other just don't mesh so well, regardless of polarity.
