This question raises anthropological issues of enormous import.

At what stage was the development of orcish culture? Were they hunter/gatherers or had they entered the agricultural stage yet? Did they have specialisation of labour or were they all just fighting grunts?

Another aspect concerns she-orcs. In early cultures, women were primarily responsible for horticulture--the cultivation of grains, herbs, veggies. But what do we know of she-orcs? Were there hort-orcs and were they primarily female?
