In the article “The Worst Mistake of the Human Race” by Jared Diamond‚ he argues that agriculture “was in many ways a catastrophe” and “with agriculture came the gross social and sexual inequality‚ the disease and despotism‚ that curse our existence.” Although this may be somewhat true‚ many would disagree.
