For centuries, food preservation was a significant challenge for humanity.
Even if you were successful in hunting or gathering food, if you could not preserve it, it would be difficult to keep enough for survival.

Captain James Cook was a British explorer, navigator, cartographer, and captain in the Royal Navy whose three major voyages of exploration between 1768 and 1779 greatly expanded European knowledge of the Pacific region.
