This document is a summary of the book "The Worst Mistake in Human History." According to Jared Diamond (1987), the adoption of agriculture was the worst mistake ever made in the history of humanity. Approximately 10,000 years ago, during the agricultural revolution, this occurred. As Diamond points out, the error made back is in stark contrast to the life that humans are currently living. Humans, for example, consider themselves to be better off in the sense that they do not have to work as hard as they used to and that food is plentiful. Evidence, on the other hand, suggests that the opposite is true.
Diamond brings up the idea that the human race is currently living in the most relaxed and carefree state possible. This document is a summary of the book "The Worst Mistake in Human History."
