@archaeology Farming carries the thought of exclusionary ownership of property that excludes others, so hunter-gatherers wd be more nomadic, and a threat to farming. Native Americans didn't like farmers or farming for pretty much the same reason. In general, one group has fixed territory in defined farms and the other group is mobile and fixed territories do not work with that mobility. Yes, mobile groups had general, large territories, but not the smaller exclusionary parcels of farming.
