There are some recent studies that have come out that the first humans to practice agriculture were in fact less healthy overall than contemporary hunter gatherers. Based on the human body we are much more suited to foraging and hunting than planting crops and sedentary living. And the skeletons of these early agriculturists showcase the damage their bodies took.
