This is a really cool representation of the huge cons of the neolithic lifestyle! Wish they might have added the cons of the hunter-gatherer lifestyle as well, though, because otherwise it might seem like bias, no? If the hunter-gatherer lifestyle is indeed that much better, it would be even more convincing if the cons were provided, too. Just a thought. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the presentation! :D(0 votes)
Cons:
*Higher fatality rate
*Sometimes food can't be found, and you starve
*Parasites are a more frequent problem
*Always on the move without a home
But even with those cons, I'd rather be a hunter-gatherer.(3 votes)
