In a foraging society, most people are very similar in their knowledge, skill, and everyday practices such as gathering and hunting. Emile Durkheim would say that the type of solidarity in a foraging society is.

The answer is mechanical.

Explanation:

Mechanical solidarity refers to the social integration of the different members who belong to a specific society and who usually have similar values and beliefs. These similar values and beliefs constitute something called a “collective conscience”. This conscience has an effect on individual members that provokes that they cooperate.

According to Durkheim, the forces that produce that the members of a society could cooperate were related to internal energies that provoked that the molecules could cohere in a solid. Thus, he used the terminology of physical science related to mechanical solidarity.
