Lots of stereotypes here. In fact longevity was high, for example. Labor was light the vast majority of the time (since food availability was highly variable) until agriculture came along, etc, etc. Civilization sometimes seems to mean that people just get to create whatever "facts" they please without consequences. If you want to find out about the reality, "The Old Way: A Story of the First People" by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas is a fine start.
