The anthropologist David Graeber argued that agriculture was picked up and dropped repeatedly by societies for the entirety of the 3,000 year "agricultural revolution," as hunting/gathering was a much easier way to get those needed calories.

There are megalithic sites created wholly by hunter/gatherer societies; the deep human past is a fascinating time.
