Didnt humans “pretty much live the same lives” for like hundreds of years before the industrial revolution?

There have been major tech & lifestyle shifts that happened throughout sapiens history, and the order is roughly:

• The Cognitive Evolution about 50-70Kyrs ago, which coincided with a permanent move out of Africa. Total population was ~10K humans, similar to the other great apes. Art was invented, ritual graves, fishing, tool use exploded.
• The Neolithic and Agricultural Revolutions of 10-12Kyrs ago, in which our lifestyle drastically changed. Total population was ~5M humans. We went from hunter-gather tribal peoples to farmers and chiefs tied to specific areas.
• The large-scale civilisations of the Fertile Crescent, in which writing and laws were invented. Maybe ~6Kyrs ago?
• The empires of ~2-3Kyrs ago, in which plumbing, sophisticated roads, democracy and complex political bodies came in to use (etc, etc)
• The Renaissance of ~500yrs ago, in which science began to have an explosive impact on technology.
• Modern capitalism, which changed the game in any number of ways. Maybe ~150yrs later.
• The Industrial Revolution ~225-250yrs ago, another huge game-changer.

And you know the rest. All of it happening faster & faster, with very little brakes and very little regard for wiser heads.
