Many years ago there was a book called "The Ascent of Man" by Jacob Bronowski. In one of chapters he stated that when humankind was spending all its waking hours gathering nuts, berries, and vegetables, we did not have time to develop what we know now as "civilization." But once we discovered that we could eat meat, a concentrated form of protein, we could give up the gathering lifestyle and had more time on our hands.... time to create civilization, poetry, art, music, industry, and much more.
BTW, the title "The Ascent of Man" was a direct response to Darwin's book, "The Descent of Man."

On the flip side, there's this fool.
I cannot find what he's talking about, but I can certainly see certain people taking this to heart.
