I'd say commerce and progress ruined the fun for everybody.

One minute you've got ages to spend relaxing, procreating and putting in the odd spot of hunting, no worries apart from dying horribly due to some disease or other, the next you're working for hours on end every day and hanging around bars with lots of worries plus an exaggerated fear of dying horribly due to some disease or other.

Fantastic.

Well, you seem to be glossing over that whole problem of people having a life expectancy of only 20-40 years...

Hanging around a bar until 70 beats that, IMO.

Yeah, but they're happy years...

Of course, what I'd really like is modern life expectacy without all the associated work, etc.  I know, I'll become a drop out...
