For most of human history we were hunter-gatherers. Even assuming you mean post-industrial history this isn't true though.

The person you're replying to is correct in a technical sense I think? The hunter-gatherer phase would be considered prehistory since it pre-dates the development of writing, which is what enabled humans to record history.

"Human history" includes prehistory.
