How creative are the people in the few cultures left that still work on a hunter-gatherer subsistence kind of system?
How much free time would you have left over in order to be creative, if you had to spend all your time growing food and making clothing and attending to all the necessities of life that are taken care of with a quick trip to the grocery store?
How long would you live if you didn't have access to modern medicine (which goes hand in hand with industrialization)?
