Pre-agrarian humans had more in common with beasts than with us. We were basically just another migratory animal subject to the migration patterns of our prey and seasonal growth. We have had the misfortune to see what feral humans who survived in isolation behave like.

The larger scale cooperation required for agriculture is when we began to diminish behaving as such.

We are products of our environments.

This is the dumbest "im so smart and edgy" comment I've ever seen. what we call a feral human today haa zero relation to life in pre-agrarian societies, also the idea that people ...going to places were food will be makes them mindless zombies is so ridiculous thatI don't even know where to start

20 minutes of looking into archeological sites will show you how complex and cooperative non-agrarian society's were (I'm saying non here instead of pre because there are many instances of societies developing agriculture and then moving away from it due to various social/environmental factors)

Yeah. People seem to forget that the people in our past are exactly the same as us. They had fun, loved each other, got upset, got happy, worked together. They just didn’t have the advancements we have. Just because they went where food was doesn’t make them any less human. What else were they gonna do? Starve? They needed to eat, and they didn’t know of any alternative reliable way of getting food besides hunting since they didn’t figure out farming yet.
