Imagine being born 10,000 years ago where all your work for sustenance would fit in 4 hours weekly...

That mammoth, sabre tooth or slow human from another tribe isnt going down without a fight.

No one, 10000 years ago, was only "working" 4 hours a day. This is garbage.

For most humans the fight for survival it was constant and grueling and frequently unsuccessful.. Shelter was hardly a thing. You most likely died by your 30s. Etc.

It was in between the two extremes. It was like four hours a day on average of active hunting/gathering for some members of a group, others spent like 4 hours a day cooking/making clothes/building shelter. They had extended periods where they were sheltered from the weather, celebrating holidays, etc.

Hell, most animals only spend a limited number of hours per day actively surviving and have a significant amount of time resting or sheltering from weather.

And life expectancy was skewed by infant deaths. Sure, injury and death weren't uncommon in their 30s but that is when humans are at their peak physical condition and most people who survived childhood made it to their 50s even if they had some lifelong injuries.
