An abundance of food at the ready won over many hunter-gathers. Evidence suggests that many tok up farming out of neccessity to feed their growing population.

Come up with an argument that would challenge Diamond's conclusion. Diamond includes detail and archaeological evidence to support his conclusion that the movementfrom hunter-gatherers to farmers was the biggest mistake. Although, this shift was inevitable if they wanted to support larger populations and establish more permanent settlements. Agrarian societies allowed for others to specialize in other fields and if we were to switch back to "bushmen", bushmeat has been known to Ebola. A switch back or without the movement to agriculture, an even bigger mistake would have been made.
