Yeah, and early vertebrate species in the Cambrian just swam around singing happy songs and smooching anemones all day while they enjoyed a universe free of those horrible constraints of energy and matter that nasty humans invented to oppress each other.

Get a fucking grip. Hunter gatherers lived in shitty conditions with unbelievably poor material wealth, and had no protections against disease, injury, starvation, attack by animals, attack by other humans, old age, death in childbirth, etc etc. Average lifespan was 20.

Oh, and you're also wrong about much of the rest of it as well. There is a reason that anthropologists consider farming "the worst mistake in human history":

All of which is entirely irrelevant to the question at hand.

Hard work came with farming. Before farming people worked very few hours.
