Potential connections between the two articles?

The idea that farming-based societies were a mistake could likely be supported by the fact that when societies used farming tools such as hoes or plows it had a direct impact on how their society was run gender-wise. Even now there are still unresolved issues in regards to gender-roles and specific genders places in society potentially as a result of the use of hoes vs. plows and by extension because of farming. I thought there were some connections that could be made between the two readings as the plough and hoe had such seemingly major effects on gender roles in society today. Also, Farming could be seen as divisive due to the fact that it separated societies by gender roles, and class divisions. 

The Worst Mistake in Human History slightly altered my perception of how beneficial farming was and how we perceive hunter-gatherers today. I was wondering why we perceive hunter-gatherers or people from non-agrarian societies as primitive, because the belief that there was no time for art or culture in those societies was shown to be false in Jared Diamond’s interpretation? Even today there are still hunter-gatherers and their lifestyle has not been proven to be any less fulfilling than people from our society. Diamond even said that these “so-called primitive people” were still able to “have plenty of leisure time, sleep a good deal, and work less hard than their farming neighbors”. So why do we see them as primitive when their quality of life seems to be just as satisfying?
