    Sure, like I said, agriculture is great if you want to grow your population a lot, and I’m not saying life isn’t better now because of agriculture – just that it took a long while for that to become true and early sedentary cultures were usually worse off than the foragers.

    Famines obviously didn’t stop being a thing after agriculture, and I’m fairly sure they increased as you’d have groups of people who are much more reliant on just one crop instead of a variety of sources.
