> However there were likely many millennia of societies that mixed agriculture with hunting/gathering. Eastern woodland native Americans were like that pre-contact; maize agriculture + hunting game + fish etc. Seems like a good overall strategy.

Aren't there parts of rural China still living in that mixed model today? And Africa too iirc...

As described, everyone in the world is living that mixed model today. Fish mostly come from the ocean.
