I disagree with the postulated germ theory as a cause of population  
control, and also with the idea that hunting was violent and dangerous.

Maybe more unwarranted assumptions, there - I got tired reading it.

Cannot agree that there was only a small decrease in lifespan with the  
invention of farming.
