    Hunter/gatherer and early farming societies typically had a lot more leisure time than we do today. Some researchers estimated they only ‘worked’ 15-30 hours a week

    That figure is both not a consensus, and it’s a number of hours that’s referring to time spent on food procurement only, nothing else of what’s needed to live/survive.
