    It’s not just bullshit.

    Soon after we invented agriculture we began to lose survival skills, and it got progressively worse until we reached the point of grocery stores.

    This was our choice. We stopped roaming to stop and grow, harvest, and store grain to be sure we had food stocks in reserve for low yield months. This gave us time to create and learn which led to civilisation.

    Before agriculture, we were no more than bands of maybe 50, probably territorially killing each other on discovery much like Chimps do.
