No primitive culture were different than we are, they all tried to use the easy way, get as much as possible to secure surviving. Our Problem today is, that our impact is much bigger than it was back then. The Polynesians killed the Birds of a bunch of island, we can do much worse.The solution is not to go back to some "golden primitive age" but to think about new ways of living and new technology.
I also suggest to read Jared Diamond
