As I said elsewhere, tooth samples and bones from those periods tell a different story, namely famine, or serious malnitrition, happening frequently.

- crazygringo 3y ago"Hunter–gatherers have less famine than agriculturalists" -- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3917328/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3917328/ "Here, we analyse famine frequency and severity in a large cross-cultural database, in order to explore relationships between subsistence and famine risk. This is the first study to report that, if we control for habitat quality, hunter–gatherers actually had significantly less -- not more -- famine than other subsistence modes."
