I'd never heard of the hunter vs farmer hypothesis. But, it's very interesting. A disproportionate number of my friends and I, although intelligent, had lifelong difficulties with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and substance abuse (as did many of our parents). We always used to ponder and hypothesize, as kids (in the 80s / 90s), that we just weren't built for modern life and that our recent ancestors were probably nomadic hunter gatherers. We felt like our bodies and minds truly were trying to push us to escape, to run wild in the forest.
