Apples to oranges comparing the early modern era, anywhere back to classical days, to prehistory.

It is. Being a hunter gatherer is significantly worse, but you won't find many reenactors who will go for a weekend of prehistory.

I disagree if you are claiming being a hunter gatherer was worse than being a farmer. As do a lot of archeologists. For the reasons I already stated.

Farmers are at the mercy of the rulers of that region. They can't just leave. They become slaves.

Maybe we'd see more caveman reenacting if mammoth burgers were a possibility
