Again, the only difference is scale of technology and efficiency. If the ancient Native Americans could have figured out a way to set up a beef processing system the likes of which exists in Midwestern America today, you better believe that they would have done it. If they had knowledge of the chemicals designed to produce higher crop yields, religion would have been altered to accomodate their use.
Humans haven't lived in "harmony" with nature since they discovered fire - and lost control of it soon afterwards.
