Imagine a family of farmers in the Neolithic Age. They are a multi-generational family living together on a large farm. They have bees, chickens, and other animals and crops that keep them fed. They have several shelters that are sturdy. Last year, however, floods came and took many of their large animals and rained out their crops. Some of the family died from starvation.
