Even the agrarian revolution that happened 10K years ago resulted in health decline since a human body for 190K years before that evolved with a different diet. It is after the agrarian revolution that we faced many diseases connected to suboptimal diet and food. Even the last 10K years didn't change that. Humans had an absolutely different diet and evolution finetuned our bodies to survive in different conditions and with different food than we have now:
"When populations around the globe started turning to agriculture around 10,000 years ago, regardless of their locations and type of crops, a similar trend occurred: the height and health of the people declined."
