I think that modern society is inherently better since no one lives the hunter gatherer one when given a chance. There are still places where one could go and hunt/gather food etc but I don't know of anyone that does that.

Most modern hunter gatherers wouldn't want to live in modern society either. See the Sahlins' paper above or a recent National Geographic article on a similar group: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2009/12/hadza/finkel-text http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2009/12/hadza/finkel-text Again, if modern society was inherently better, why are there modern hunter gatherers at all? Shouldn't they all have joined us by now? It is not for lack of opportunity. They like their culture and their lifestyles. They don't want to join us as much as we don't want to join them.
