I also wonder about farming making people increasingly creaky. Doesn’t age do that on its own? How would your body be if it wasn’t regularly active with farming activity?
Before agriculture, foraging tribes harvested whatever was ready and provided by nature at the time. There was no need to “work” the land. They were nomadic though and moved to where the food was. I wonder if that lifestyle would take less of a physical toll on the body.
I just finished reading a book called “The Myth of Human Supremacy” by Derrick Jensen. I think you would enjoy it.
