Stage 1: High StationaryFamily Name: The Nomadic TribeFamily Members: A man named Kael, his wife Anya, their five children (ages 1 to 12), and Anya's elderly mother.Environment: A temporary settlement in the Kalahari Desert, Southern Africa. Their home is a simple, portable shelter made from branches and animal hides. They own basic tools for hunting and gathering.Lifestyle, Environment, Conditions, Resources: They are hunter-gatherers. Food is scarce and dependent on the season. Water is a precious resource, often collected from distant sources. Infant mortality rate is high due to disease and lack of medical care. The total fertility rate is also high because children are needed for labor and to ensure some survive to adulthood. The crude birth rate and crude death rate are both high and fluctuate based on environmental conditions.Country: Botswana (fictional remote area)Key Concerns: Finding enough food and water each day, protecting themselves from wild animals, and the health of their children. Disease outbreaks are a constant threat.Total Population Changes: The population remains relatively stable but small. High birth rates are offset by equally high death rates due to famine, disease, and warfare. See more
