Apparently (and I’m only quoting what I’ve read) we had significantly more free time as hunter gathers than we do now. Some of the advantages of settling down to cultivate land and keep animals are clear to see but an excess of leisure time is not one of them. Back in them olden times we almost certainly would have had the opportunity to develop lots of new games. These days we’re stuck in what anthropologists sometimes sometimes refer to as the luxury trap
