Whenever there are those anthropology shows where someone takes a camera into some place deep in the jungle where people still live some version of a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, there do seem to be some good points. They work hard, but there's also a lot of relaxing. They can't do much at night, so there's often singing and dancing when the sun goes down. OTOH, there's a lot of death. Child mortality is high, injuries that would be easily treated in a modern city are death sentences. And, there's not much room for experimentation, following a different path, etc. Gender roles are rigid. Boys do what their father did. Girls do what their mother did. Life has been essentially unchanged as far back as anybody can remember, so you better accept that because as soon as you're born your path is set.
