This is a no brainer. We were cooked as soon as we left the hunter gather mode. That was the point in time when we were no longer part of the ecosystem and became ecosystem destroyers. The funny thing is that is also when we had to start working all the time to garner enough to survive. Studies show that Hunters pretty much only had to put in 16 to 20 hrs. a week to get by quite well. Now, the Gatherers (the females) it has been found seemed to have to put 40 or more. Had something to do with after their gathering duties, there was still the hearth & home they had to attend to. Somethings never change.😂
Absolutely. Marshall Sahlins, has famously characterized hunter-gatherer societies collectively as “the original affluent society, where people’s material wants are easily satisfied.”
A question I had never considered before.
